The public school in our neighborhood was in need of storage lockers. The school officials are beefing up their Physical Education (P.E.) department because they have seen the potential in their student athletes. Plus, there is an ongoing campaign to divert kids’ attention to outdoor sports than to staying inside their rooms playing video games. School officials want to get back those days when kids play outside the house and aim to become athletes.
When local philanthropists heard of the school’s needs, two anonymous donors immediately sent checks to cover for the purchase of the lockers. Wow! Such generous individuals. School officials immediately ordered the lockers and they disclosed the amount of the checks sent, the amount spent (with receipts) and where the rest of the money will go.
I am one of those overjoyed with the improvement in the public school. Here’s hoping more and more individuals will donate to the school and that the school officials will keep up their good work.
