An opportunity was presented for the Vikings to make a great impact on a child across the world. Upon speaking with Mrs. Easton, I learned the opportunity comes through World Vision, an organization that supports children in need around the world.  Mrs. Easton stated that she believes it’s a simple act that can have a big impact. I asked where she sees the project in five years? She responded, “I hope that we can maybe sponsor more kids, but also help more in our own community.” She also said that if more people were aware and able, they are always willing to help, especially when it comes to kids. Mrs. Easton stated she hopes West Vigo can continue helping Beverly until she is on her own and then pick more kids to assist. 

Many students and staff are already working on ways to reach out and support Beverly. In Mr. Isles class, they are trying to get donations for Beverly. Students are donating money and  earning candy for their donations.

 I also spoke with Mr. Easton. He had seen a presentation on children outside of our country choosing families. He said he saw families being chosen and thought of the West Vigo High School family. Mr.Easton said that he spoke to the student body about Beverly and they were all for it. He wants people involved who can connect to and relate to Beverly leading this cause. Mr. Easton, along with students and staff, welcome Beverly into the Viking family. Mr. Easton thinks student involvement is the key for success in this project. 

Want some fresh, hot coffee? Not a big fan of hot coffee, then have some cold, ice coffee instead! Welcome to the DECA Coffee Shop serving daily in the comfortable library  from 7:00- 7:50 am!  Drinks cost $2 for iced and/or flavored coffee and $1 for regular, hot coffee! 

How do they get coffee everyday you might wonder. Sadie Herring, DECA president, filled me in on how the DECA stop runs. Sadie stated that Bryce Stateler goes out to buy coffee on Sundays to prepare for the week. What a great guy, choosing what popular coffee, creamer, and flavorings are purchased to have ready to use and brew! Don’t be afraid to try out their coffee, it’s great! Personally, I like ice coffee more than hot coffee. If you haven’t already, please stop  by and say hi and get some delicious, refreshing coffee! For an extra treat, grab the Friday delicacy of a Square Donut!
