SCHOOLS AND CHAMBER PARTNERS COLLABORATE IN THE WINTER
Maintaining a true heart for service, the Lincoln Parish Adopt-A-School
Program once again produced a record-breaking collection for the local
Christian Community Action effort. On the heels of its phenomenal Wig-
gin’ Out fundraising project, the AAS team proudly surpassed its yearly
collection average to help others in the community.
This year’s effort included A. E. Phillips Laboratory, Cedar Creek,
Choudrant Elementary, Choudrant High, Cypress Springs Elementary,
Dubach Elementary, Glen View Elementary, Hillcrest Elementary, I. A.
Lewis, Lincoln Head Start, Lincoln Parish Early Childhood Center, Lin-
coln Preparatory, Ruston Elementary, Ruston High, Ruston Junior High,
and Simsboro schools along with a host of Chamber partners.

School students handling the bulk of the loading and unloading. Cochra
serves on the CCA Board and once again offered one of her properties as
the storage site for the load with church and community volunteers sched-
uled to sort and inventory the massive collection after the holidays.
CCA Executive Director Stephanie Matthews was overwhelmed with the
efforts of the schools. "We so look forward to this project each year and
CCA thanks the everyone involved for this amazing and wonderful dona-
tion," Matthews expressed. "Our needs grow more and more with each
year and there are many times when we wonder if we’re going to make it.
So this donation will help this community tremendously and especially
after the holidays. Thank you all for your generosity." Hillcrest Elementary School students proudly display items collected on
