BRTC’s Phi Theta Kappa Holds Day of Caring

Black River Technical College’s (BRTC) Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) chapter held their 8^th Annual Day of Caring on both Pocahontas and Paragould campuses on Wednesday, December 4.

“Day of Caring” is a day when PTK, in partnership with BRTC’s Student Government Association (SGA), gives BRTC students who are also parents an opportunity to pick a Christmas present for their child. PTK and SGA recognize that college can be hard on a parent financially and they want to help ease that burden during the holiday season.

Between both campuses the event saw a total of 124 students and 288 toys were taken to new homes for Christmas. PTK also had a prize drawing for participating students and each campus gave away a girl’s bike and a boy’s bike. The Pocahontas winners were Skylar Freeman, girl’s bike, and Kim Watson, boy’s bike. The Paragould winners were Maron Lesley, girl’s bike, and Ava Lincoln, boy’s bike.
