On Friday I wrote about a cookie-baking marathon run by students at a local high school. Click here to read the story. The cookies were to be sent to U.S. troops all over the world.
This is the eighth (non-consecutive) year that the school's Distributive Education Clubs of America program has held the Stay Awake and Bake event. The tradition was revived after a four-year hiatus, during which the program focused on other community service projects, the advisor said.
These are the cartons the teens packed with boxes of sugar cookies. I thought they did a nice job wrapping them!
They said they hoped the treats would reach their destinations by Valentine's Day.
Kudos to the 22 students who gave up their Friday afternoon and evening to express their gratitude to troops serving our country.
See many more photos featuring a little or a lot of red at Work of the Poet, hosted by Mary T. The Teach.

I love hearing about Support the Troops efforts. (then my little voice adds - but why oh why do they have to send them sugar? I suppose they wouldn't eat kale supplements).
Beautiful packaging.
What a wonderful service project!
Hugs and blessings,

What a great project! An awesome choice for Ruby Tuesday. :)
standing ovation for those kids!
the packages are beautiful
Kudos to them!
Along with their selflessness and baking skills I think they have quite a flair for artistic design as well by the way those packages are not only wrapped but stacked as well.
Such a good project! Those are beautiful. They really did a good job. Well done!
Great idea and great kids for doing such a nice thing. I am sure there will be a lot of happy soldiers out there.
