INDIANAPOLIS – An East Central High School junior has been named to the Indiana High School Athletic Association Student Advisory Committee.

Eighteen high school student-athletes from across the state will serve next school years on the committee, including East Central’s Jorgia Ferguson.

The Student Advisory Committee began in 2001-02, representing the entire IHSAA membership of 407 schools.

Meeting four times annually, the committee is responsible for hosting meetings with student peers at the Fall Area Principals Meeting; assisting with the awards ceremonies at IHSAA state championship events throughout the school year; planning and administering the annual IHSAA Student Leadership Conference; and to engage in and support the activities of Special Olympics Indiana including the Unified Track & Field and Unified Flag Football State Tournaments.

Costume Swap at the Dearborn County Recycling Center
The Dearborn County Recycling Center’s Costume Swap was created as an annual event offering customers the chance to share and reuse costumes that would otherwise only be worn once. Last year over 800 individuals used the program. The program saves money and reduces waste by reusing items that otherwise would only be used once. Over 1,000 costumes for adults and children are available. Masks, wigs, makeup, accessories, treat bags and décor are also available. All available costumes are clean and in good condition, with many being brand new. The sizes of costumes range from infant and toddler to adult sizes. Costume Swap even has a small selection of pet costumes. Participants are asked to bring a costume that is clean, in ready-to-wear condition, and free of rips, tears, and stains. To be considered for exchange, all costumes must also be complete with original items, including masks and accessories that came with the costume originally. Those without a costume to exchange are asked to make a cash donation to the reuse program. Shopping times and the number of guests allowed to shop at a time will be limited. Visit dearborncountyrecycles.com for more information. Participants should be prepared with a donation in case their costume is not accepted. The program does not operate as a charity. Costume Swap is open to everyone; it is not exclusively for Dearborn County residents.
