An update by Carol Doidge about our partnership with West End Middle School
All was set with over 60+ new books purchased by Vine Street folks. The books were delivered to the counselor at West End Middle School (our partner school since October). At least seven Vine Street members were set to help serve pizza at West End Middle on the evening of March 5 for the Reading Literacy Night. Games, building tours, and exhibits of student achievements were ready for the evening to share with the neighborhood.
You know the story of what came next to postpone this terrific event. Early in the morning of March 3 horrific tornadoes caused major damage in Middle Tennessee. The Reading Literacy Night was rescheduled to April 2 since Metro schools closed several days due to the damage to many schools. We now have a worldwide health crisis, and that leaves all plans on hold for now.
We did well as a faithful community to work with our neighborhood school on their special night and we will have the celebration of reading in the future. They know we continue to support them and will return to work with the amazing students, teachers and staff at West End Middle during the school days as soon as possible. Keep our neighbors at West End Middle in your prayers!
