COURTESY ARMANDO SALDAÑA,
On Tuesday, May 19, 2009, the Career and Technical Education Family and Consumer Education classes under the direction of Mrs. Meva Saenz will
conduct a “Toros Gift of Love” activity.
The Apparel class will donate handmade caps to the Cancer Center at Doctor’s Hospital. These caps will be given out to the ladies that are undergoing cancer treatments. The Culinary Arts classes will cater and bake delicious “Million Dollar Carrot Cake” for the guests.
Three young ladies enrolled in Mrs. Meva Saenz’ classes will donate their hair to “Locks of Love”. Sandra Hernandez from the Cancer Center at Doctor’s Hospital will accept the students hair and send it to the Locks of Love organization.
Guests will be arriving at about 2:15 pm to the sewing lab to set up for the hair cuts. Roel Gonzalez from Roel’s Images will do the honors of cutting hair. Each student was asked to donate their skills for this worthy project and they came through with not only their sewing skills (acquired during the year in the apparel class) and their baking skills (acquired in the culinary class) but also with their hearts. They were so enthusiastic. Mrs. Nelda Garcia, one of our teachers at C.H.S. who is currently successfully fighting cancer, and Mrs. Raquel Ramirez, a cancer survivor, served as our role models. When the other students heard, they decided to participate by baking goodies or by donating their hair.
