Planting Trees with the Main Street Association
Many Anchors have never planted anything in their lives and now they can say they not only planted one but they planted MANY. Houston's Main Street Association obtained a beautification grant and called on the Anchor club to come help plant them. We were more than glad to help out and of course had fun at the same time. There were only a hand full of adults there to do this huge project that would have taken them all night to do but with our help we were done in about 2 hours.Farm Safety Day 2009
Anchors fit 5th graders for a brand new bike helmet. These helmets will be provided to every 5th grader in Chickasaw County through a matching grant with Pilot International that HHS Anchor and Houston Pilots applied for!
Anchor President Elect Kali and Pilot President Elect Ann are helping each other eat their MS State ice cream during our break. Pilot Mabelene is daring Ann to get it all over Kali.
At the end of the day Hunter came to talk to the other kids about how he had a Bike wreck during Spring Break and because he was not wearing his helmet he had to go to the hospital and told them all about the experience. There were 260 5th graders in attendance that learned from 11 different safety stations! It was a fun and informative day!

Any excuse to have birthday cake...Jay Tee thankfully had a birthday on the same night as our Anchor meeting!!! It was fun!
Delivering Adopt-a-Family to Project Noel. We had 5 kids this year that we gave a very Merry Christmas to.

Audrey and Lauren help one of our kids make reindeer food for Christmas Eve!
Anchors volunteered to help the Main Street Association paint 40 Christmas Trees to decorate the town square with during the holiday season. These trees could be purchased by different businesses and clubs and then their logos were placed on them. The square looked especially festive this year and we had a great time! This project proved that doing service projects can be fun!!!
Anchors participate in the town pep rally to kick of f the new school year. We gave out information on Alz. and encouraged people to come to the Alz. workshop that the Anchor and Pilot Clubs were sponsoring at the end of September.
President Jordan and President Elect Kali are taking charge at their first meeting and lead all of our current anchors in a leadership meeting. We are using the word "AUDIENCE" to teach the anchors some leadership skills!
