That week, Operation Leadership sold items like \u201cT-shirts, feathers, bracelets, bookmarks, pencils, bags and a lot of different breast cancer awareness items\u201d said Senior Olivia Hilliard.  Pink rubber duckies were among the items sold.  The items that were sold, \u201ccame from Oliver Ford, but the idea for the hair feathers was an original idea by one of Operation Leadership kids ([Junior] Grace Stokes). We were thinking of what was popular for teens today and what we could sell for a decent price and still make a profit. Hair feathers met the standards and were fun and funky\u201d said Junior Ella Portteus.  Many students purchased a variety of the items sold.  The T-shirts that were sold were designed for \u201cthe Tata Trot in the Summer. They were hand made by a women in Warsaw,\u201d said Hilliard.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2435\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/social.plymouth.k12.in.us\/perspective\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/DSC_0084.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2435\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2435\" title=\"DSC_0084\" src=\"http:\/\/social.plymouth.k12.in.us\/perspective\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/DSC_0084-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2435\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This bracelet was among one of the items sold by Operation Leadership.

They were among the items sold to students because \u201cwe knew that a lot of girls would want to buy them. They are so popular! The rest of the stuff was provided to us by Oliver Ford\u201d stated Portteus.  Students and hairstylists were the ones that put feathers in students hair.  Junior Andria Shook was among the students that put on feathers and on Monday \u201cwe did not sell that many but then the other days the line to get a feather put in was at least 3 people long constantly\u201d stated Shook.  Hilliard adds  that \u201ca couple of hundred\u201d feathers were sold.<\/p>\n<p>Operation Leadership had a goal of selling $1000.  Not only did they make their goal but they \u201cmade about $2,800!\u201d stated Portteus.<\/p>\n<p>The items were not only sold during lunch but they were also sold during the boys soccer game on September 22.  All the money gathered was to go to the Nancy Jaynes scholarship.
