TROY— During February, students from Troy High School (THS) and Athens High School (AHS) helped facilitate a wide variety of events to promote and raise money for different charities during Charity Week. THS events took place from Feb. 2-Feb. 10. Many AHS events were planned for Feb. 10-14, but due to winter storms that occurred during that week, some events were rescheduled for the week of Feb. 17-21.

Their sons, Dmytro “Dima” and Denys both have ties to theTroy School District. See CHARITY on page 6A
