WAKEENEY–Community Appreciation Day was observed Tue., Oct. 26 in WaKeeney by Trego Community High School with 117 students and 25 adult sponsors participating.

Crews helped with 95 different projects in WaKeeney, including raking leaves, painting, doing fall yard work, picking up trash, washing windows and cleaning out basements.

The students also asked for donations to the local food pantry.

The WaKeeney VFW Post and WaKeeney VFW Auxiliary #3449 gave a monetary donation and the students were able to go the grocery store. The students did comparison shopping to get the most items for their money, all of which went to the food pantry.
