Students at NACC Get in the Christmas
Spirit
Northeast Alabama Community College is in the Christmas spirit.
Teaming up with Human Resources from both DeKalb and Jackson
Counties, Northeast Alabama Community College recently collected
numerous gifts and food items for three families and seven
additional children in the surrounding area. Coordinated by the
NACC Student Government Association, many organizations,
students, faculty, and staff joined to give back to the
community and make this Christmas a brighter season for each of
these families. In addition to the presents bought for these
families, a canned food drive yielded 1700 food items to be
dispersed among them and the Flat Rock Community Center in Flat
Rock, Alabama. Student Government Association Sponsor, Joan
Reeves, commented on the event saying, “Christmas is that time
of year that we stop and think of all of our blessings and want
to share with others. I am proud of the students at NACC who
have so generously given of their time and money to ensure that
others have a special Christmas. This year has by far been the
most successful one yet, and because of the hard work of NACC
students, faculty, and staff this Christmas will be a much
happier one for many families in our service area.”
The project was coordinated by a committee appointed by the
Student Government Association (SGA). This committee included
Devin Kennamer, chair; Shay Spurgin, Matt Brewer, and Kayleigh
Smith. Other organizations at NACC who participated in this
effort were Phi Theta Kappa (Sponsor, Brad Fricks), Baptist
Campus Ministries (Sponsor, Dan Knox), Sigma Kappa Delta
(Sponsor, Joan Reeves), Mu Alpha Theta (Sponsor, Sharon Totten),
Presidential Hosts (Sponsors, Susan Barron and Andrea Wheeler),
Yearbook (Sponsor, Joan Tucker), and SGA (Sponsor, Joan Reeves)
as well as individual students, faculty, and staff. Without the
donations from these organizations, the Student Government would
not have been able to sponsor as many families.
