The grounds of Schalmont High School are a little more beautiful
thanks to the Class of 2007 senior gift and forensics students.
The senior gift, a serene bench and pathway at the front of the

planted by forensics students this fall to mark Red Ribbon Week,
an annual event focused on drug prevention. Be sure to stop by
and enjoy the view.
