Livingston High School has been rec-ognized by the Texas Association of Student Councils (TASC) as a Sweep-stakes Council. Sweepstakes councils

must be recognized as an Outstanding Student Council and receive outstand-ing recognition in Drugs, Alcohol, Safety and Health (DASH); Pride and

Patriotism; and Energy and Environ-ment as well as submitting a Commu-nity Service Report. TASC has 1269 member schools. Of those, Livingston High School is one of only 230 student councils statewide to receive this high-ly-esteemed honor. Th is is the second time in as many years that the Coun-cil has received this prestigious award. With fewer than 1/3 of TASC mem-ber schools submitting Community Service Reports, the monies donated, the value of the goods donated and the service hours (valuing the hours at $7.25 an hour) came to a total donat-ed of $35.5 million for the 2016-2017 fi scal year. “I am incredibly proud of these stu-dents and honored to work alongside such an outstanding group of young adults,” said Joel Casiday, lead advisor of LHS Student Council. Co-advisor, Aaron Kerss, said “It’s amazing to ob-serve the impact that can happen when a group of students unite to achieve a common goal.”Student Council members devel-op proven skills in team building,
