Kids Who Care

All in all, we have some pretty good kids taking courses here, at Your College. They are kids who work hard, and kids who achieve ... they are kids who enjoy themselves, and kids who care about others.

Some great examples of that last point are underway right now ...

The Midland College Latino American Student Society (MCLASS) is conducting a toy drive for Casa de Amigos. Unfortunately, the principle toy donor will not be able to assist Casa de Amigos with toy donations this Christmas. That is why we are appealing to Midland College's generous nature to ensure that as many children as possible are touched by the Christmas spirit. All donations are due Thursday, December 16th, by 5 p.m., in the MC Police room in the Dorothy & Clarence Scharbauer Student Center. For more information, contact Chief Martin Garcia, Midland College Police Department, at (432) 685-6833.

Meanwhile, the Midland College Student Government Association has set-up collection boxes around campus for their annual Canned Food Drive, continuing through Friday, December 10. SGA voted last week to donate all food to the Memorial Christian Church Food Pantry. For more information, contact Stephanie Van Curen, Student Activities Coordinator, at (432) 685-4543.

Also taking place right now is a very different kind of animal adoption effort. Through this fall semester, the MC Veterinary Technology Program has housed six dogs and five cats from City of Midland Animal Services. During their stay at MC, they received all their vaccinations, and their licenses, and they are all spayed/neutered. CLICK HERE to learn more about these temporary guests at Your College. Anyway, it's time for them to be returned to the City of Midland ... but staff and students at MC's Vet Tech Program are hoping that each of them will instead find a "forever home" ... with you. If you are interested in adopting, or have any questions, please feel free to contact MCVT Clinical Director Lynn Robbins at (432) 685-4753.

Then there was the annual Frito Pie Chili Supper Fundraiser last week, hosted by the MC chapter of Students in Philanthropy ...


I know, I know ... you're going to say, "well, it's Christmas, and everybody's doing something special." That's true ... but take the word of someone who's been working full-time at MC for almost three years, now, and has been covering activities such as these month-after-month ... this is just another week on the campus of Your College ... thanks to kids who care.
