Factors influencing these needs may include the person’s age, gender, available money, lifestyles, school or job status, preferences or other re quirements that depend on the item given and the individual in the situation. The 2022 contest items were athletic pants, tablets, fast food breakfasts, and backpacks. Caleb Rudisill placed third in reasons and placings and fourth place high individual.

Hoschton student helps build with Habitat for Humanity Faculty from the Uni versity of North Georgia’s (UNG) kinesiology with teacher certification, or physical education teacher education (PETE) program, joined with 11 students and participated in a Habitat for Humanity of Hall County build this fall. Colin Conway, from Hoschton, was among the participants. “Habitat for Humanity has a reputation of helping families in our communi ties and around the coun try,’’ Warren Caputo, as sistant professor of PETE, said. “It seemed pretty ob vious. and I thought let’s see if we could contribute to the Hall County chapter.” Blake Hanley, Marshal Pace, Will Hammerson, Will Smith. Caleb Stans berry, Hailee Ouimette, Jessica Byrne, Janie Hen derson, Nick Minor, Colin Conway, and Sarah Miguel joined Caputo. and Brook Shurley, PETE lecturer, at the build. Caputo, who oversees the PETE program, shared that the purpose was to give the students in the program community service expe rience and ultimately help them feel good about the contribution they made. The Habitat staff in Hall County commended UNG’s efforts. “The consensus was that UNG was one of the most positive and productive days we have experienced,” retired Air Force Col. Tom Reiter, a long-time Habi tat volunteer, said. “I have done over 400 events, and I’m sure I speak for my fel low faithful few volunteers when I say they all proved they have a Habitat heart.” Encouraged by the high praise, PETE students want to have an annual event to assist Habitat. “Participating in Habitat for Humanity was a great experience. We were able to get our hands dirty for a project that really matters in our community,” By rne, a senior from Flowery Branch, said. “We will for ever have our mark on that home, as well as the family who will live in it.” UNG’s award-winning PETE program prepares health and physical edu cation candidates to teach pre-kindergarten through 12th grade over a three-se- mester-long program.
