The Dizney Debutantes of Knoxville, Tennessee have been busy building character! We are visiting many organizations to help with self-esteem. The main idea of our visit is to teach young children that you are never too young to give back to your community. Each of the members have agreed to try something that will boost their confience. As the president of our club, I had to set a good example of a role model and I tried something exciting. I did! I won a pageant and currently I hold the state title for a year.

Every school day, CHS students are transported to or from school either by bus or car. CHS runs a fleet of about 20 buses to transport bus riders from both CHS and CMS to thier homes. Each bus runs on either gasoline or diesel and most buses are more than 15 years old, making thier emissions high. The Clean Fuel initiative, sponsored by CHS EcoAction (http://chs.ecoactiononline.org) will work to change our current transportation.

the white dragon after school program is a nonprofit organization that helps kids with fittness and health.

Our club baked desert-proof cookies and brownies for a Marine unit in Iraq. We wanted the men and women who are deployed from our area to feel connected to home. We are committed to letting these men and women know, that regardless of our political affiliation, we are supporting them

Our Do Something Club at Logan Avenue Elementary School have made some new friends!  We "adopted" the Memory Care Unit (Alzheimer's Unit) at the Presbyterian Manor in our community.  We will be making seasonal decorations each month for our friends.  We also plan to visit them in December to sing Christmas Carols and in the spring to plant flowers.  We are really looking forward to getting to know these very special people and hope they will smile and feel better every time they look at the things we have made!

The Logan Avenue School Do Something Club felt that we should do something to help those families who were struck by the tragedy (tornado) in Greensburg, Kansas. These people really lost everything, in fact they lost just about the whole town, and we decided to do something!

The Do Something, Brooks! club decided to help a local Girl Scout who is working on her Gold Award. There is a contingency of people traveling to Paraguay this summer, and it has come to our attention that many/most of the children of this impoverished country have never seen a stuffed animal, and do not own any. We worked with Jessica (age 16) to organize this project. We set a goal of sending at least 700 new and gently-used stuffed animals to Paraguay. When all was said and done, we had collected 1,409 stuffed animals! That's 1,409 happy children in Paraguay!
