More help for homeless kids
S&S Food
Sores donated $6,250 to the
Columbia County School
District Homeless Education
Program at Tuesday night’s
school board meeting.
The money will be used to
provide basic necessities to
about 385 homeless children
in the county. Funded by the
state, the homeless
education program can
provide students with
educational supplies but
must rely on the community
to provide food, clothing
and hygiene items. “We are
just so blessed,” said
Huggins. “This is a very
giving and kind community.”
In November S&S employees
purchased food and clothing
for homeless students. Brown
said the company decided to
support the homeless program
after discussing it at a
school advisory meeting and
reading about the program in
the Lake City Reporter.

Nothing ‘crimps’ her style
Fort White Middle School sixth-grader
Shelby DuBose, 12, spells the word ‘crimp’ to win the
Columbia County Spelling Bee on Thursday at the Columbia
County School Board Administrative Complex Auditorium.
DuBose beat out 13 other children from the county’s
middle and elementary schools, as well as some private
schools. ‘I feel really good. I’m still shaking,’ DuBose
said. ‘Everyone did so well. I’m relieved it’s over.’
Congratulations to the Fort White Middle
School Science Fair Regional Winners.
