SCHOOL SUPPLY EXPRESS PROVIDES

SUPPLIES TO TITLE 1 SCHOOLS

Pictured: Education Committee volunteers Armetrice Cabine with Armetrice Photography and Janet Read Welch with Children's Healthcare of Atlanta deliver school supplies to Carmel Elementary School Assistant Principal Dr. Michele Harcarik. Delivery boxes were graciously donated by Pilgrim's.

The Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce Education Committee partnered with the members of the Chamber to collect school supplies for Cherokee County Title 1 Schools. School representatives specified which items were needed most for their students to efficiently meet their needs. The supply drive, known as "School Supply Express", is purposefully held in the fall to replenish supplies used in the first half of the school year. Donations were delivered to schools last week and will be distributed to students when they return to school in January.
