With such a tough economy, you would think people would NOT be so willing to give . . . but they are! So far this year, Student Council & National Jr. Honor Society(sponsored by Mrs. Vannoy and Mrs. MacDonald) have helped to raise money for children of Africa - over $3,500, money for people of Haiti - $900, and canned food for local shelters. Ms. Francis sponsored a toy drive before Christmas and Ms. Barfield ran a coat drive. Now, Ms. Loflin (plus the efforts of the Surfer students) are running a campaign to raise money to send Veterans to Washington to see the WWII memorial. Over $500 has been raised so far!!
These activities can be extremely meaning for our students and staff. I'm very proud to tell others about all the caring things our teachers and students do for others. We also have several staff members that have experienced unfortunate events. You all are the first to take up money, make dinners, and send special notes.
Thanks for doing your best each day to teach these youngsters the curriculum but more importantly teaching them that doing something nice for others is a good thing to do!
It is supposed to be in the 50's this weekend . . . will feel like summertime:) Enjoy the sunshine.
Go Patriots!!
