Staff News
Shirley Payne has been moved to a rehab facility in Myrtle Beach. She will probably stay in MB until she has recuperated enough to return home.
Jennifer Poston's home caught on fire this past Tuesday. The fire was contained to the laundry room and kitchen. They are going to replace the flooring in the laundry room and paint the walls if they don't come clean. Julie Gies is asking for monetary donations from our faculty and staff to purchase a gift card to Lowes for Jennifer. If you would like to donate, please see Julie on Monday.
