“I just want to say thank you to everyone who supported the Teacher Appreciation Project,” stated organizer Jade Graves. Because of your generous donations, every teacher, support staff, office worker, custodian, and cafeteria worker received a goodie-bag and a $5 gift card! We were also able to draw names for larger prizes for each campus.” 

Graves enlisted the help of Beau Barlett to assist with drawing names for larger prizes. In total, seven names per campus and 12 names for the high school, were drawn. The drawing, which was held on Wednesday, August 26, included additional gift cards and prizes, all from local businesses.

Those businesses include:
Cornerstone Veterinary Clinic
Vache Grass Country Club
Shop Persnickety
Bishop Family Dentistry
Cucina Pizza
Pizza Barn
The Dari

A group of 10th grade girls, Alana Buchanan, Shelby Mayor, Lyric Graves, and Kenzie Auterson all helped to stuff the bags for presentation.

“A huge thank you to Erin Bartlett,” added Graves. “She handled the GoFundMe financial side of things and did an amazing job! What an awesome community we are blessed to live in! I am so very proud to call Greenwood home!”
