Ernest Ward Middle Ships Care Packages To Overseas Soldiers

December 3, 2011

Students at Ernest Ward Middle School raised over $600 for Christmas care package items for American soldiers serving overseas. Clubs and athletic groups at the school donated a portion of their own fundraising proceeds toward the project.

In addition to snacks and other items, the students also included hundreds of handmade Christmas cards for the packages that were mailed Friday.

Pictured are Bethany Reynolds, cross country; Peighton Dortch, FFA;  Mallory Gibson, cheerleading; Brianna Parker, basketball; Amber Freeman, band; Gavin Grant, basketball; and Austin Whitehead, football. Several other clubs that are not pictured also contributed to the effort. NorthEscambia.com photo, click to enlarge.
