Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY]:  The Junior High Student council of the Bainbridge-Guilford Central School set up a "bundle week" to gather clothing for the Save the children Federation. 

 

The Save the Children Federation is a non-profit organization serving children, their families, and their communities without regard to race or creed.  Registered with the U.S. State Department Advisory Committee on voluntary foreign aid, the Federation operates in the Southern Appalachian Mountains, among the American Indians, and in many countries abroad.

 

The Student Council put "bundle bags" in every homeroom of the elementary schools. They also put bags in the junior-Senior High.  On March 17 they held a Co-Rec night to gather clothing.  The bags were bundled on March 28 and they had a total of 92 bags, with 20 pounds of clothing per bag.  On March 31, a total of 1,840 pounds of clothing was sent to Knoxville, Tennessee. 

 

The student council faculty advisor is Mr. Ronald Tompkins.
