Special Thank You
Mid-America Bank
While our local bank serves as our Partners in Education, they also reach out at other times throughout the year to help support our students. Over the past couple of months, they have donated $2000 to help serve the needs of our students district-wide. We are so blessed to have them serving our community.
EcoWater graciously reached out offering to supply water coolers to each of our buildings for teachers to have access to throughout the day. This was not just a one-time contribution, but have generously refilled the water jugs all year, leaving an extra supply to be utilized as needed. We appreciate them thinking of our teachers and staff. It is greatly appreciated.
