Students give to students

The Ben Barber Auto Tech students and staff raised over $21,000 and purchased 425 bicycles in the second annual Bikes for Angels fundraiser. These bicycles will be delivered to campuses where counselors have identified needy students whose parents can then come and get a bicycle for Christmas. The fundraising goal this year was $10,000.
Rick Curlee, Automotive Coordinator, said this of the project, "I have been teaching for 20 years and I have never seen students get as excited as they do for Bikes for Angels. I have had a few of our kids come to me and say that they were angel tree kids when they were younger. We teach many areas in our schools today but I feel one of our most important life skills to teach our kids is the Joy of Giving."
