Piper adopts a “Project Grad” 5th grade class for the holidays
I am adopting Ms. Jessica McWilliams 5th grade class at Christenberry Elementary School this holiday season. Christenberry is a “Project Grad” school.* I am personally committed to this effort and am challenging my neighbors in the second district to assist Jessica in making this holiday one to remember for her 17 students and Christenberry school. The needs of the Classroom and individual students are great.
Please remember while doing your holiday shopping to include a gift for this worthy cause. We are accepting all types of gifts for Jessica’s class. Need exists for individual outer-ware, educational board games, small student rewards for exemplary activity, age appr opriate magazines subscriptions, games for recess and general school supplies. For a complete list of of gifts needed and more information please visit/contact me at my website www.piperforcommission.com or Rick Mallory at rpm7000@comcast.net or by phone at 523-2990.
* Project GRAD is a collaborative effort between Knox County Schools and the private sector. The goal of Project Grad is to improve academic performance and future options for 7500 of the neediest kids in the heart of Knoxville.
