| Students Raise Money For Relay For Life A couple of weeks ago, the students in Lisa Brown’s fourth grade class at Clanton Intermediate School set a goal to raise $100.00 for Relay For Life. The students wanted to do this by March 5. However, within three days, they had reached their goal and decided to continue raising funds. They set a new goal of $365.00, which they reached by Friday, March 5. They raised a total of $368.03. "I placed a large plastic guitar on my desk and each day the students dropped in their donations. Each day we totaled the money in the guitar to see if we had met our goal, which we did," Lisa said. Jill Brown and Lori Peoples, both teachers at CIS and in charge of the school’s Relay For Life team, agreed the class did a great job. They thanked the students and Lori asked “how many broke open your piggy banks” with several students raising their hands. She told the students that the money would really help the school reach their goal of $5,000.00. Jill added “we are very proud of you all.” Lisa added “they used their snack money plus we had a couple of students who gave guilt trips each day to the other students. They basically brought money in to donate because they wanted to help kids with cancer.” The Clanton Intermediate School’s team has the theme “Strike Out Cancer” with orange and blue T-shirts that the students wear. |

| Time Change Is Sunday Monday was a beautiful day in Chilton County and Spring is just around the corner. This weekend is “spring forward” time in regards to setting your clocks ahead by one hour. When you retire Saturday night, remember to set your clocks ahead as Daylight Saving Time officially arrives Sunday morning at 2:00 o'clock. The change to Daylight Saving Time allows us to use less energy in lighting our homes as the days will be longer. Enjoy the next eight months of longer days. Standard Time, when we “fall back,” is 2:00 a.m. the first Sunday in November. Chilton County area students are excited and preparing for their annual Spring Break week away from classes. The break begins next week on Monday, March 15 and the students won’t have to worry about being late for classes. They have a week to adjust to the time change. The first day of Spring officially arrives on Saturday, March 20. |
