Clara Lackman, near, and Lauren Brooks place containers of cookies under the tree in Nathan Holtmeyer's classroom while Lydia Downing and Emma Scruggs package more at Blair Oaks High School Thursday. Once again students volunteered to collect cookies, bake cookies and package them to be shipped to sailors on the USS Michael Murphy. In all, between donations from the community and ones baked by students, organizers hope to box up and ship about 150 dozen cookies.
