Dayton City School student council members spent their morning visiting sick children and families at the Chattanooga Ronald McDonald House. The students also made a $500 donation to the Ronald McDonald House as part of a longstanding tradition at the school to help local charities.

Each year, more than two dozen student council members participate in various fundraisers to help raise funds; activities include hosting an Easter egg promotion, coloring contest and sale of Christmas cards.

The funds will help provide nine nights of comfort for a family at the Ronald McDonald House while their critically ill child is receiving care at the hospital.  It costs $55 per day to provide a night stay for a family

Scandals At Home And Abroad

Since my hip operation and time in recovery, I have tried to set aside things that are insignificant to me and to average Americans. Don't get me wrong here.
