Several chapters of Business Professionals of America (BPA) partnered March 24 for a good cause.
Adena, Chillicothe, Westfall and Zane Trace’s chapters raised money for the area Special Olympics by hosting a bowl-a-thon. Courtney Davis, Special Olympics & Special Projects director, attended and spoke with the students.
About 80 staff members and students from the four schools participated. The chapters raised $540 for the charity.
Teachers, satellite instructors for Pickaway-Ross, are Erica Cormany, Adena; Evan Blake and Vanessa George, Chillicothe; Chris Norris and Nichole Younkin, Westfall; and Sarah Thornton, Zane Trace.
