Macedonia Elementary School recently was recognized by the Anna Crawford Childrens Center as the winner of its competition for the school with the highest percentage of attendance at its Holiday Lights of Hope. The Center presented the school with a donation of $1,494.16 in appreciation for its support; a total of $3,789.80 was donated to Cherokee County School District schools through the attendance contest. Cherokee High School welding students contribute their talents to create displays for the event, and entertainment was provided by choral groups from schools including: Avery ES, Ball Ground ES STEM Academy, Clark Creek ES STEM Academy, Free Home ES, Macedonia ES, Oak Grove ES Fine Arts Academy and Woodstock HS. Many students serve as volunteer workers at the event, as did CCSD employees 25 staff members from Creekland Middle School volunteered their time to run the display one night. The Center is a non-profit, community-based organization dedicated to preventing child abuse and neglect; and protecting and serving children and families. Without our communitys support, we couldnt provide the needed help to children impacted by abuse in Cherokee County, said Tabatha Martin, Resource Development Director for the Anna Crawford Childrens Center. Thank you for allowing us to partner with Cherokee County School District. We look forward to working with all of you in the future.
