Mt. Tallac High students learn to give back to the community

The students at Mt. Tallac High School in South Lake Tahoe have learned how to give back to others in their community, and not in the normal food and money drive way.
What started last year with a rap song to raise funds for Christmas Cheer and now morphed into an annual project where more students can be involved in making a community-wide impact.
"As a school we chose people and organizations to give to," said school Principal Holly Greenough. "Since most of our students don't have the means to donate food and money we showed alternative ways they can give back."
Could it be a white Christmas in Lake Tahoe?

A small front will pass by Lake Tahoe Tuesday, with a wintery mix of Rain, snow and sleet, with a chance of some accumulation of snow, but forecasters are looking at Friday night into Saturday for a stronger storm that could drop measurable snow.
Both of these systems could impact travel over the Sierras. With Friday a major holiday travel day, those on the road should be prepared. Snow could cover roads and chain controls are expected at higher elevations.
