Calla High School’s staff and students are adopting American troops this Christmas. To that end, they are teaming up with the Cpl. Charles O. Palmer II Memorial Troop Support Program founded by Chuck and Teri Palmer after their son who was in the Marine Corps was killed in action in Iraq on May 5, 2007.Calla High Principal Kathy Krouse, who made the arrangements with the Palmers’ Troop Support, is asking the public to join them in this effort. They will be accepting donations until Wednesday, Nov. 6, during regular school hours from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.“It’s new to us; we haven’t done it in the past,” school counselor Fred Saltzman said of this project.They began collecting donations about a week ago, starting with letters sent to parents informing them about what the school is trying to do.
