Shred Documents, Hike in Darkness

This weekend the PTO hosts a shredding event, so residents can safely dispose of confidential documents.

Chathamites and other area residents can "get ride of all those sensitive papers, bank statements, cancelled checks, etc.," Karen Jackson, the president of the PTO, said.

Funds raised by the event will support Project Graduation, the annual drug- and alcohol-free event held each year after the commencement services. Project Graduation is sponsored each year by the PTO.
