Forest City Students hold Penny Wars for Dessin

Each year, the student council of Forest City School District selects a deserving charity, and then holds a "war" to raise money.  Held during Student Spirit Week, Penny Wars is a competition among grades 7-12. Pennies are brought in by students to gain points for their grade. They can also use quarters to take points away from other grades.  This year's winner was the class of 2010.

Jonathan Sibio, Student Council President (center), presents check to Dessin Manager Sue Frisch and her companion Mackey as Student Council Advisor Dan Nebzydoski looks on.


Offsite Donation Drop Sites

Waymart Building Center (244 South St., Waymart, PA) is Dessin's newest drop-off site for donations.  Dessin's wish list will be posted and donations accepted during normal business hours.  The wish list is also posted at the shelter, at The Cat's Pajamas thrift store, and here on the web site.  In addition to the shelter and The Cat's Pajamas, REMAX of Greentown (1345 Route 507) remains a drop-off site.
