The Holiday Season is upon us once again. Support those in need by helping with the Merrick County Salvation Army Bell Ringing campaign. 90% of the funds raised are guaranteed to stay in Merrick County to help our friends and neighbors. The bell ringing will be held indoors (no cold hands or noses) at the Central City Mall.

Right now, the million-dollar question is: “Have you done your Christmas Shopping yet?” My answer is a resounding… “NO!” The Sharp family waits until after Thanksgiving to shift into full-blown Christmas mode. So it’s time to get shopping! With two teenagers in my house, technology and electronics are definitely going to be purchased.

DECA Week came and went as fast as ever this year which occurred from Monday, November 7th to the 11th. DECA Week is a week of awareness for DECA, which is an organization that prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs in marketing, finance, hospitality and management in high schools and colleges around the globe. Each day during the week had a new activity including finding hidden DECA Diamonds around the school for candy, DECA members bringing snacks for the staff, promoting the DECA pride by showing off the merch, handing out smarties to invite individuals to join DECA, and finishing the week strong by dressing sharp! The DECA team came prepared! They celebrated the next week by holding a BINGO night to remember, providing multiple prizes ranging from more candy to homemade cookies. What a time to be a DECA member! We can only imagine what the rest of the year holds for them.
