The committee raises money so they can supply the children that ride our buses who are in need. Many times, our drivers and monitors will see students that have no gloves, hats and scarves, backpacks and winter coats. Proceeds raised from the committee's fund raisers go toward purchasing items for those students in need. The committee participates in Halloween events where they hand out over 2000 pieces of candy each year. The committee also decorates a school bus and can be seen in the Michigan City Patriotic, St. Patrick's Day and Santa parades where they hand out an assortment of school related items such as pencils, erasers, note pads, etc.
