Thank You, KCES and 5th Grade Leadership Team!

Knox County Elementary Fifth grade Leadership Team organized a day for all students in their building to wear a hat....simply by paying $1.00. A majority of the students took advantage of this—some wearing ball caps, cowboy hats, helmets, etc. The fundraising money was then donated to the Novelty Senior Citizens' for their Wreaths Across America project.  The Senior Center is hopeful to have a wreath for each veteran in the Novelty Cemetery, plus many others throughout the county. 

These students presented the money to Marsha Pinson, Thursday afternoon, September 29^th. Collected was enough money to purchase 9 wreaths. Those students are also invited to attend our ceremony in December and help place the wreaths on veterans' graves.

Thank You, Leadership Team, for organizing this day. And thanks to all the Elementary Students who purchased the privilege of wearing a hat!
