On Oct. 8 Ren Fair emcees and students involved in drama and debate put on a rummage sale with the help of director Amy Bushey. Every student was required to work a two hour shift, filling the U-Hall with a variety of items.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had clothing, home items, toys, we had pretty much everything including several large items that were donated like beds and bikes,\u201d senior Kate Tonge said.<\/p>\n

Tonge is one of several students involved in the debate program at DHS.<\/p>\n

The sale was one of the many fundraisers held for speaking society every year. The money went toward the growing expenses of these programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe garage sale is one of our many fundraising activities to raise money for our programs specifically like debate and drama productions. We get a budget of about $4,500 now for all of our programs, and we spend close to $20,000,\u201d director Amy Bushey said. \u201cOur goal is always around $1000-1500.\u201d<\/p>\n

The annual garage sale has been around DHS for many years now.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbout 10 or 12 years ago my kids came up with the idea for a garage sale, and it\u2019s been a great way for us to raise money without having to spend money,\u201d Bushey said. \u201cWe made money from stuff we would have otherwise had to get rid of.\u201d<\/p>\n

But unlike years past, this year came with worries of making enough money.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome years we sell a lot of big stuff, but this year I was surprised,\u201d Bushey said. \u201cI thought we would not make our goal because we did not sell big stuff. We normally sell things like couches, beds, things that bring you $50-100. This year, we sold tons of little stuff. It was things like kid\u2019s old toys, and puzzles and household items. It was $2, $1 items, so I was amazed we made our goal of $1,000.\u201d<\/p>\n

The items that they did sell made them a total of $1,008. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a win-win for everybody,\u201d Bushey said. \u201cPeople got their house cleaned out, and we got money for the programs. It was an easy fundraiser, because many hands make little work.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the sale, the nine or 10 truckloads of items that weren\u2019t sold were taken to the Salvation Army and donated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
