Library Starts Collecting “Coins for Coats”

Shreya Dasari, Editor in Chief
October 12, 2014

Beginning Oct. 15, the Library will start collecting “Coins for Coats” for the Round Rock Area Service Center until Oct. 29. The collection bucket will be at the “pay for printing” desk in the library. If each student donates a quarter, the Library has estimated that they would be able to raise $675. Alternatively, if each student gives $1, the amount raised would be over $2,700. Be sure to donate!

About the Contributor
Shreya Dasari
Shreya Dasari, Editor in Chief
Hello, I’m Shreya Dasari, and I’m the Editor in Chief for The Horizon. I’ve been on the Student Press staff since my freshman year. I like to sleep a lot and consequently, I’ve been forced to preset “oops” to autocorrect to “sorry, I was sleeping” on my phone. I listen to every genre of music and one of my many talents includes being able to identify any song and its artist by the first five seconds. My favorite color is red, but sometimes I change my mind and tell people that it’s black just to mess with them. I also dance, sometimes. Occasionally, I bake. I love raccoons. I’m obsessed with raccoons. They love trash, and I am Trash™, so therefore, raccoons love me.
