Town sign plaque to honor citizens
MARS HILL NEWS
by Tomi Henderson
Now that the public has had the opportunity to enjoy the new informational sign located at the Mars Hill Town Office, Rotary Club officials are asking individuals and families to participate in paying off the balance of the sign.
The Rotary Club is asking families or individuals to donate a minimum of $100 towards the balance of the sign. To thank you for your donation, the club is giving donors the opportunity to place a name/names on the plaque to honor someone you would like to have remembered. Each $100 donation can represent an individual or couple.
The club’s hope and mission is to have the sign all paid for and the memory of your loved ones kept alive each time you view the sign. Thanking you in advance for your donation.

GIFTS FOR KIDS — Members of the CAHS Student Council worked hard to wrap the many gifts that will be given out this year to area children. Pictured are, from left: Stephanie Dame, Kennedy Day, Lindsey Watson, Olivia Cyr, Jillian Young, Whitney Peavey, Olivia Garrison, Lexie Brewer, Sue Findlen, Emily Pickance and Jordan Canney.
The CAHS Spanish Class entertained during the Christmas Assembly at CAHS with their rendition of “Feliz Navidad.”
New members inducted into the National Honor Society during the CAHS Christmas Assembly on Dec. 23 included, from the left: Sarah Grass, Kayla Cushman, Brea York, Michaela King, Whitney Cote and Josh Barton, pictured with the NHS Advisor Mrs. Drost.
Lindsey Watson, at left, plays “Silent Night” as her cousin Emily Robinson joins her in singing during the Christmas Assembly at CAHS on Friday, Dec. 23. Others performing included the Junior/Senior Chorus singing “Go Tell It On The Mountain,” the Drum Corps, and Mrs. Jackins with “O Holy Night.”
Brendan York had the privilege of “welcoming” his younger sister Brea into the National Honor Society and took the chance to give her a special mustache as part of the “H” drawn on the faces of the newest inductees. He had planned to “take it easy” on her, but their older brother Andrew urged him to “let her have it!” Watch out, Andrew, youngest sisters have a way of growing up and not forgetting what her older brothers did to “torture” them!
