After Katrina hit the Gulf Coast, Principal Chris Malone encouraged the teachers to help in the relief effort.  Everyone got involved.  Students could chew gum or wear hats in their classrooms if they gave a donation.  Teachers could wear blue jeans one Friday for a donation.  One second grade class had a bake sale, and the other second grade class had a sucker sale.  The PTO donated $75 from their snack shack sales.  The faculty/staff challenged the volleyball team to a game, and students could attend for a donation.  The culminating event, however, was "Taping Principal Malone" to the gym wall.  More than one-half of the student body donated $2.00 for a piece of tape.  Although we had fun raising the money, we never loss sight of the purpose - to help others.  Hopefully, our funds will be added to money collected by other Greene County schools to adopt a school in coastal Mississippi.
