DECA Hosts Successful Fundraiser

Written by: Elise Kerim 

   With the stress to keep grades up, maintain positive relationships, and being actively involved in extra-curriculars, high school students need to treat themselves once in awhile. Thanks to Sparta High School's DECA Chapter, that happened!

   DECA hosted a Krispy Kreme donut fundrasier to support their chapter, successfully selling over 550 dozen boxes of donuts. The purpose of the fundraiser was to offset the cost of competitive event trips, especially on the state level and national level. Students who qualify will attend DECA's State Career Development Conference in Atlantic City, and further, the International Career Development Conference which will take place in Atlanta, Georgia this year. DECA members sold boxes to friends, families, and staff members. About two weeks later, lines were out of the door as students retrieved their donut box(es).

  "The fundraiser was great," said junior Taylor Brady who jumped at the opportunity to purchase donuts. "There was such a positive feedback throughout the entire school. High school students are always hungry...so if you can sell us food, it's going to be successful."

   Luckily for students like Taylor, the Krispy Kreme fundraiser may be returning in the spring time! Due to the overwhelming success, chapter advisor Mrs. Chiappini suggests running the fundraiser once more - so if you missed out or have a craving, just wait!
