"It's really a great experience for my students to be able to plan, host, and implement these events. Just seeing the smiles on their faces and people that have come every year, they really look forward to our Bingo Night. We see familiar faces; they recognize us. They're super happy to be here. It really is a really great ability for us to give back and celebrate everybody in everybody's unique ways," said Chrissy Hood, the DECA advisor at Lima Senior.
