Latest UNITE News:
Rockcastle County Middle School's UNITE Club has issued a challenge to all UNITE Clubs: "Go the Extra Mile for UNITE" by raising at least 1 mile of pennies. The "Miles of Pennies" campaign will be used to assist those seeking treatment but cannot otherwise afford it. It takes 84,480 pennies laid out end to end to make a mile. That's $844.80. If each of the current 121 clubs raises a mile it will generate $102,220.80! The challenge is on. For details contact Nancy Hale at nancy.hale@rockcastle.kyschools.us
