Review Photo/ERIC HRIN Marie Layng, a parent and cafeteria worker in the Canton Area School District, holds one of the fleece jackets being sold by the school district as a fundraiser for the Canton Chamber of Commerce Giving Tree. A donation from each jacket sold will help purchase holiday gifts for the Giving Tree with all proceeds benefiting families in the Canton area who may be in need of some assistance during the holiday season. Orders may be placed in person or on a form printed from the district's Web site and dropped off with payment at any of the school district offices. The fleeces can be personalized, and the order and payment deadline is Dec. 9 with delivery to the school by Dec. 22. The district's Web site is www.canton.k12.pa.us.
Chinese auction raises money
Canton High School senior Erica Route's recent Chinese auction to help raise money to purchase a digital projector for the Rialto Theatre in Canton yielded $350, she said.
She was happy with the amount. "It was a good start."
The equipment would allow the theater to play DVDs at events such as private parties, and also to show small clips of businesses before the movie as large movie houses do. She is planning some more fundraisers, such as an X-Box gaming night. It's for her senior project.
