County career-center instructor seeks donations to support students traveling to national firefighting competition
Summary
An instructor at the Lancaster County School District Career Center asked fire departments to consider small donations to the program activity fund to cover students’ meals and competition expenses; the instructor said checks should be payable to LCSDCC.
An instructor from the Lancaster County School District Career Center asked fire departments to consider donating to the program’s activity fund to cover student meals and competition expenses as several students prepare to attend national competitions.
The request matters because the school’s budget and the county’s fire budget do not cover student meals on out-of-town competition trips; the activity fund pays for those incidental costs.
The program instructor said she raised funds last year and that donated vehicles from a partner school this year helped pay for state competitors. She said several students placed first through third at state and that one student, Caleb Baker, will attend nationals in June.
On fundraising logistics, the instructor asked departments to make checks payable to “LCSDCC” (Lancaster County School District Career Center) and said she would send a standardized message departments could use if they wished to solicit donations locally.
Ending: The instructor said the program will prepare props and training for nationals and asked departments to consider small donations for meals and travel incidentals; no county funding decision was recorded at the meeting.
