Holcomb middle‑school students report $3,700 garage‑sale haul; art club selling handmade cards
Summary
Middle‑school groups reported fundraising activities: the student 'Unhooked' garage sale raised $3,700 in the first sale and about $1,100 in a second run; the art club sells handmade cards (about $3 each) and pottery to fund supplies.
Two Holcomb Middle School student groups presented fundraising activities to the board. Mason Novak (art club) described a handmade‑card fundraiser and proposed selling pottery to raise money for supplies; standard cards are priced around $3 and the club has so far raised small amounts while taking orders for personalized cards.
Liam Unruh described the student 'Unhooked' garage‑sale project: the first sale raised $3,700 and a subsequent sale during parent‑teacher conferences raised roughly $1,100. Proceeds are earmarked for teacher appreciation breakfasts, an "April fun day" with activities like bouncy houses and mini‑golf, and donations to Holcomb Middle School families. Leftover unsold items are donated to First Baptist.
Board members asked logistics questions—how many items were donated (students said "thousands"), turnaround on orders, and charity recipients for leftovers. The board applauded the student initiative; no formal action was required.
