“These contributions will help build our foundation to help with emergency situations with our students as well as fund scholarships,” said TCAT President Debbie Petree.  The president went on to say that these emergency funds may sometimes mean whether or not a student is able to stay in school.  (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED – 09/29/2020-6AM)
