Student Recognitions
Kappa Delta Pi and National Society of Leadership and Success raise funds for local children in need
GSW's chapter for Kappa Delta Pi (KDP) and the National Society of Leadership and Success organized and had a raffle ticket fundraiser in October to raise money. They created 3 gift baskets with many donations from surrounding businesses. Together the two organizations raised $588.15. The school counselors at Lee County Primary, Macon County Elementary, Sumter County Primary, Sumter County Elementary, and Crisp County Elementary schools provided a list of the students and their needs. KDP purchased items such as food, clothes, shoes, hygiene items, and school supplies. On Sunday, November 15, they packed 56 shoeboxes including a personal note in each. The shoeboxes were delivered to each school on Monday, November 16. The group had some leftover items and those items were delivered to the Boys and Girls Club – Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter Unit in Plains, Ga.
