Delicious delights that support scholarships

Chocolate Fest at Kent Center

Feb. 12, just in time for Valen-

Lines snaked out the door
of the cafeteria and down the
front hall and then again out the
front of the building, as support-
ers of the sweet sale waited to
fill plates full of chocolates and
baked goods. Funds raised go to
the school’s scholarship fund for
Kent Center graduates.
A new attraction this year was

plies and colorful paper, where
students could make Valentine’s
