Help A Child Visit Washington D.C.

I made this plug last year, and I'm making it again!!!

Each year, the best of the fifth graders in our school system are asked to be members of the safety patrol. These are great students who work hard and show good citizenship. Every summer they have the amazing opportunity to take a trip with other Knox Co. safety patrol members. I chaperoned this trip many, many years ago and I had so much fun. It truly is a wonderful opportunity for the students!

Most of you know I work at a low income school. The cost of the trip is $410 per student. This is a very large cost, and most of our students can't afford it. We are trying to raise money through businesses and staff donations, but we need your help! Would you consider giving even a small amount to help send these kids to Washington? I know these are crazy economic times, but if you can spare even $5 dollars, please send it to:

Mooreland Heights Elementary
5315 Magazine Road
Knoxville, TN 37920
Attn: Jessica Adkins

If you'd like to send a check, you can make checks out to Jessica Adkins or Rachel Jett. We will divide the money evenly among the needy students and directly pay their fee to the travel agency.
