FBLA held a fundraiser for Arkansas Childrens Hospital. For a $2.00 donation, students were able to "pie" a faculty member. Faculty members participating were Anthony Brunet, Jennifer Smeltzer, Shona Wiley, Paula Redding, Tommy Norton, Mark Freer, Celeste Byrd, Robert Webb, Vaughn Clary, Richard Meyers and Ronnie Efird. The organization made $120.00 to donate to ACH. A special thanks to Food Center, Family Market (formally Mitchells) and Keeney's Grocery for donating the cool whip.
