TIPTON -- The Easter Bunny had lots of help with Easter baskets when students in the Business Professionals of America chapter at Southwest Technology Center collected donations and assembled 38 baskets for children at The Tipton Home Inc. in Tipton.
"This has been a wonderful experience and has become an annual tradition for our chapter," said Mary Roundtree, BPA community chair. "It's a great feeling to bring happiness to children at the Tipton Children's Home, and all the students who participated had a great time with the project. But we could not have accomplished the project without the help and support of all those who made donations."
