CONCERNED CITIZENS Belleville West students and staff took time from their busy schedules to help the community. The Distributive Education class sponsored a Christmas party for twenty-four children. The children received gifts and en¬ joyed the undivided attention of DE stu¬ dents. Freshman civics classes, Hy News , Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Nation¬ al Honor Society helped needy families. Stu¬ dents Against Driving Drunk and Student Council provided the Safe Ride program dur¬ ing the Christmas vacation. In addition, con¬ cerned students and faculty members gave blood during the two Blood Drives held at West. Many others at West also served the community throughout the year.
