Students in the Catskill Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) program teamed up with Mrs. Marino’s Fashion Design class to gather and make items for those in need at the Greene County Community Action Domestic Violence Shelter. This project was led by sophomores Aaron Cousens and Jaxx Marquez-Haberstroh. Throughout the year, FCCLA members raised funds to purchase socks and new pillows to put in care care packages for the shelter, while students in Fashion Design cut and sewed the pillowcases. FCCLA members also brought in donations such as toothbrushes and toothpaste to contribute towards the care packages. This week, Jaxx and Aaron presented the 16 care packages to Greene County Community Action, a donation valued at $500. Aaron and Jaxx will attend the NYS FCCLA Leadership Conference next week to present their project in the STAR (Students Take Action with Recognition) Event Competition. Cats can and Cats will!
