While politicians are busy slinging mud at each other, it is extremely heartwarming to see the next generation reaching out and helping others. Thank you adults for sponsoring these students and encouraging them to be kind to others! Thank you students for your response to those in need.

Thank God for the generosity of our fellow humans!
Having been thru my share of hurricanes–including Ivan and Michael–I know that FEMA can do better than this. Ten days to get tarps to cover damaged roofs? That’s just ridiculous.
In 3 days the Salvation Army had a food truck out to our neighborhood, not that far east from the core of the storm, where everyone has a private well and no one had electricity, offering cooked food, water and snacks.
The day after that, FEMA set up a distribution center for ice, water and MREs.
Meanwhile, little towns directly in the path waited a week for any sort of help to arrive, while cable news networks focused on Mexico Beach and Panama City. It took buying a generator (not reimbursable thanks to Guv Scott not including our county) to be able to see TV reports on how badly towns far inland but near us were hit.
Eight days after the hurricane our rural community just west of Tallahassee, which had limited structures damaged but plenty of trees downed, power was restored.
I don’t recall seeing a Red Cross vehicle at all. I guess with the wrath Mother Nature has shown the US this year, they were stretched thin.
People are still suffering badly in places you’ve never heard of. God bless all the volunteers for sending aid to some of those.

So proud of the Chiefs. My son is a graduate of Northview, and he and his wife went to Fountain near Bonifay Sunday to help prepare and distribute food and are planning to go back this coming Sunday.

Northview Chiefs are Great kids!!!!!!

Glad to see our students are willing to give their time and love to those which they compete against. Their care and compassion are shining examples of the human spirit. You young men and women are all champions of your community and the greatest game we all play, life. Go Chiefs!
