On Dec. 13, Sebring Elks Lodge #1529 presented approximately 80 pieces of jewelry to Sebring Middle School to be used as gifts for their Christmas store. Florida Elks Charities provided the jewelry, which was donated from a vendor for Elks lodges to use for raising funds or providing them to a charitable cause. The school has a "Show Your Blue" program, which rewards good behavior year-round. Teachers give rewards when they witness BLUE characteristics — “B” for good behavior, “L” for level headedness, “U” for understanding and “E” for effort. These tickets can be used throughout the year for special considerations. At this time of year, gifts from their Christmas store can be purchased with these tickets.
