Student is "sweet" on helping others

Holley seventh grader Courtney Drake worked hard selling candy for her Spanish Club fundraiser and received second prize for her efforts - a giant chocolate bunny. Most kids her age wouldn't even wait to get it home before biting off at least an ear, but she decided to donate her prize to someone less fortunate instead. "Courtney is always thinking that way," said Middle School Principal Susan Cory (right), who nominated her for this month's Soaring to New Heights Award. Drake was presented with the award at the May 1 Board of Education meeting.
