Eastern Middle School raises $500 for Nativity
Courtesy of Mary Lynn Needham
Students from Ms. Needham’s class raised the most money at Eastern Middle to help restore the Nativity at Greensboro College.
The Nativity scene at Greensboro College was vandalized beyond repair last year, and the students at Eastern Guilford Middle School showed great commitment to raise money for a replacement.
On Dec. 17, collection containers provided by a parent were placed in every classroom. Students and staff were encouraged to place change or other donations in the containers. The class that collected the most money during the two-week period was Ms. Needham's class.
The total amount raised by Eastern Middle students was $500. Needham's class traveled to Greensboro College on Jan. 24 and presented the check to Craven Williams, president of Greensboro College, during the Founder's Day Ceremony.
The students were later treated to lunch provided by the Stoney Creek McDonald's restaurant.
We are all very proud of the dedication demonstrated by our students, staff, parents and community.
