NHS collects donations for Greenfield
By Max Sills | Black and Gold Staff Writer
ACGC’s National Honors Society has collected donations for Greenfield to help the people in need after an EF-4 tornado flattened more than half the town.
The NHS collected water bottles, Gatorade, baby items, food, personal hygiene products and other supplies to give to Greenfield after this tragedy.
People can help by continuing to donate and spread information about this tragedy.
“We understand that these people have lost more than we could imagine, so helping out in any way possible would be great,” Charger NHS member Jathan South said.
ACGC and Nodaway Valley are rival sports teams, but that doesn’t matter in this case.
“We might be rivals in sports, but when it comes to people needing help, we are not rivals at all,” South said. “We would do anything to help people in need because that is much more important than any sports game.”

Tornado hits Greenfield
By Jeslyn Ortega | Black & Gold Staff Writer
Many lives were upended May 21 when a tornado struck Greenfield, but students at ACGC High School are lending a helping hand to our Highway 25 rivals.
The community has come together and is doing a donation drive for those in need. The football team, volleyball team, DECA Leo’s Club and FFA are involved.
“We are coming together as a community, and it’s what you do for those in need. We are putting aside our differences and coming together because that is what they would do if it was the other way around,” DECA advisor Jennifer Betterton said.
Betterton said they are making sure they bring in enough items and goods that would help out the community and are helping with labor with tasks like taking trees down.
