When we need a little help or a lot of help, I know who to call.

WCCTA CTSOs FBLA, FCCLA, HOSA, and SkillsUSA always provides that help!

Today we needed just a little help. Three of their students accomplished a lot in the time they worked!
Thanks to Lily Parks, Jreshaun Hileman, and Ian Kennedy for their help and to Mrs Behel for being the contact person.
