L.C. Bird High School is On the Board, in Tie for Second Place

The parents, teachers, families and friends of 27 different Chesterfield County Schools have pulled together and donated their used denim items. Last week, Midlothian Middle School had come from nowhere and slid into second as a contender for $300. Now, L.C. Bird High School is on the board and in a tie for second place. Keep the denim donations coming in. You can make a difference.

The donated denim will be distributed locally through Community In Schools of Chesterfield County, Goodwill, and Art180 to help our community needs. The Denim Drive ends September 12, 2010.
