VTS West Forsyth Highschool - DAV Flower Making Activity 🌼 Students from West Forsyth High School led a meaningful DAV Flowers event, bringing youth together to create handmade flowers for disabled veterans. Each flower—crafted with care and gratitude—served as a heartfelt symbol of appreciation for the veterans’ service and sacrifice. The event fostered collaboration, creativity, and compassion, reminding everyone of the importance of giving back to those who have given so much for our country!

ATL Candy Drive was a huge success. We collected 300 lbs of candy from 22 youth clubs to bring smiles to American troops stationed on the borders. Our generous dentist, Dr. Praveen, was deeply impressed with everyone’s efforts and gifted each child a goodie bag containing a mug, toothpaste, toothbrush, and floss. He also donated a $1,000 check to support visually challenged students — a thoughtful contribution that will leave a lasting impact! 👏♥️✌️
