I can tell you first hand that the kids were thrilled with their new stuffed animals. And thanks to the largest and greatest crowd ever to the 19th annual Blythewood  Christmas Parade. Our Town Hall Intern/Reporter writes... Blythewood High School student, Daniel Malkiewicz recently conducted a community service project addressing hunger in our schools. Daniel provided holiday meals to four families at Blythewood High School, and two to Westwood High School families. “It feels good to know that you provided a meal to someone less fortunate than you,” said Daniel. With help from Food Lion of Blythewood and God’s Storehouse of Columbia, Daniel was able to make a difference in the community. “I couldn’t have done it without the supporting cast of the Town of Blythewood staff, Smiley Tynes of God’s Storehouse, and Food Lion of Blythewood. All of them made it possible for me to make a difference,” said Daniel.  Mark Your Calendar Blythewood High School will present             A Christmas Carol at the Farm in Ridgeway, Thursday and Friday, December 18 and 19 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $7 and can be picked up at the school.  Seating is limited so get your tickets early.
