From Oct. 31 to Nov. 4, the student council held a fundraiser to raise money for the Hollidaysburg Veterans’ Home.  This money will be used to buy holiday gifts for the veterans.  

“All the money is going to be used to buy Christmas presents for the veterans,” said Commandant Samuel Dunkel, “they’ll even be given to them on Christmas morning!”
