  Grand Opening Kritti’s Closet May 3  
  April 28, 2016 Edition  
     A grand opening for Autintown Fitch High School’s latest project, Kritti’s Closet, will be held on Tues., May 3. The project first began when Family and Consumer Science Teacher, Donna Burnell, noticed that some students were coming to school hungry from the weekend. She knew she had to help these students in some way; that is how the project began and has since blossomed into much more.
      During the school lunch hour students can find their way to Kritti’s Closet to pick up anything they may need. Clothing such as falcon wear, formal wear, hygienic supplies, and interview attire are available. The clothes are gently used and come in a variety of sizes. Crock pot meals will also available at Kritti’s Closet, all made by Burnell’s family consumer science classes. Burnell said students in need will be given a crock pot and enough meals to bring home for the weekend.
      The room is named “Kritti’s Closet” in honor of Burnell’s sister, Kristine “Kritti” Burnell-Stickler, who passed suddenly of an aneurysm on Dec. 21, 2014. “She would have given anything to others, even the clothes off her back. Because of this, the closet has been named in her honor,” says Burnell.
      Any clothing donations for Kritti’s Closet may be dropped of in the main office of Austintown Fitch High School. Monetary donations may also be made at: gofundme.com/krittikloset. “It looks like we have a lot of stuff right now, but I expect it to go fast. Any donations would be greatly appreciated,” Burnell stated.
