Cody Wright to Visit SAA Monday
Cody Wright, Program Director at The LOT Project in downtown Anderson, will visit Southwood on Monday during Morning Meeting to talk to students about the vision of The LOT Project and how we can share in that to positively impact the community around our school. Cody will also be talking about Socktober for this fall and how we will partner with them to collect socks for those that come to The LOT Project during the fall and winter. Last year, lead by students Charli and Julia, our school collected hundreds of pairs of new socks for all ages for Socktober.
