    STUDENTS AT MT. Lake Public High School “danced” into a new school year by lending others a helping hand. The Mt. Lake Public High School Student Council sponsored a 2010-2011 school year kick-off dance on Thursday, August 19, in the school cafeteria. The requirement was that attendees had to bring three items for the Loaves and Fishes Food Shelf in Mt. Lake, or $3, which was converted into more staples to add to the pantry shelves. Above, senior class members of the Student Council and the collection of foodstuffs.
