Cultivating Literacy Together Volunteers Needed!
Cultivating Literacy Together, a student-run club at MP, is hosting a secondhand book sale at Myers Park in the art gallery next week from December 13-16. We are still looking for adult volunteers to help run the event. All proceeds benefit the local early literacy nonprofit Promising Pages. By selling these books, we're raising money to support the organization's Books on Break initiative, which provides books for kids to read over the holiday if they do not have access to reading material at home.

. There will be music, entertainment, food, and more. All proceeds will go to two scholarships created in David's name. Click

In 2012, the Charlotte community lost a wonderful soul in David Shannon. David was an all-around good hearted young man and was in his first year at The University of North Carolina Chapel Hill when he unexpectedly lost his life. David was everything you would want your son to be; an outstanding scholar who was involved in multiple high school clubs, a three-sport varsity athlete at Myers Park High School, and a
Sunday
school teacher, youth leader, and summer camp counselor at Carmel Baptist Church. David brightened the lives of everyone he met.
