PCHS students volunteer Members of the Platte Canyon High School Student Council participated in a volunteer program for Ronald McDonald House on Feb. 9. Krista Hankins, Aimee Wismar, Keeley Barry, Hillary Jorgensen, Shawnda Williams, Kristina Galbreath and Advisor David Kenney cooked for 30 people, many of whom were from different states.
