Dobson High School DECA Students

I wanted to share with you the story of some very dedicated High School Students.  The DECA students of Dobson High School are some of the most dedicated, responsible, and passionate high school students you will ever meet.  These future CEO’s, under the excellent leadership of Anita Cavender, know what it means to give back to their community.  They are dedicated to volunteer work and service and know the commitment it takes to make a difference.  I had the pleasure of attending their homecoming football game for a check presentation on the field.  The students were dead set on not letting me know how much money this group had made, and now I know why…it was $4,000! This very impressive group of students together, with the rest of the Dobson High School community, raised $4,000 for shelter and the little ones we serve.  I was in utter shock at the dedication of these students.  For homecoming, the students cut strips of paper and sold them for 10¢/strip.  The purchased strips were then linked together and decorated the football field the night of the game.  The chain linked fence is very symbolic of the effect we can have when we work together.  One link cannot reach very far but when we combine our efforts our impact is so much greater. Thank you so much Dobson High School DECA team and every high schooler that raised money for the Child Crisis Center, you have a lasting effect and have truly made a difference.
