Today was the 5th grade graduation ceremony which included the class presenting the bike. They were really grateful and said they will provide it to someone who needs a bike to get to work. Maybe the Charlie Whitehurst theme will give that person a little extra motivation to work towards their dreams.
I want to thank Joshua Scott who had the idea for this theme and did a lot of work on this as well as all the 5th graders who participated. Your efforts really made a difference. We're happy to help Roots & Shoots meet the goal of Roots & Shoots to get kids to "take action to make the world a better place for people, animals and the environment." Elizabeth Balthazor, AC Moore's guidance counselor, was a tremendous help in getting everything set up and might have more energy than anyone I know. The 5th grade teachers including Mr. Pitch and Ms. Cannady were really helpful in allowing the kids time to work on this project. Thanks everybody for what you did.
