TISSUE DRIVE SUPPORTING BLAIR E. BATSON RETURNS!
|
Last year, a JA student who had been served by the Blair E. Batson's Hospital for Children learned that the hospital had a great need for facial tissue for patients and families. Our Middle School responded by organizing a very successful drive, and a van full of tissue was packed and delivered to the hospital. The need for tissue is recurring, so the second annual tissue drive is scheduled for September 12-16. If your family would like to participate, please bring standard size, rectangular flat boxes of facial tissue to homeroom class or to counselor Sarah Ryburn Mealer's office in the Upper School. The patients at Batson's Hospital and their families are very appreciative of our help.
