A Force for Good!

On Thursday, September 23rd, Scotty's House participated in the Community Service Fair during the 2010 Fall District 6 Student Council Convention at Bryan High School. This convention brought close to 500 of the top student leaders from high schools in the seventeen county Region 6 district to Bryan! The theme for this year's convention was "A Force for Good - May the Force Be With You!" The goal is to encourage leaders to see their student council as a force for change in their community. We would like to thank all the great students who stopped by our booth to learn more about Scotty's House, and how they can raise awareness of child abuse in their communities.
