Political Quotes

On the recordOctober 20, 2015
Today, I rise to recognize the students and faculty at Marvin Ward Elementary School in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. With news of the destructive flooding in South Carolina on their minds, this title I school conducted an informal collection of supplies for those impacted by the devastation. In just 24 hours, the school community had come together for the people of South Carolina and collected clothing, blankets, towels, pillows, baby supplies, toiletries, pet food, and over 60 cases of water. In addition to reading, writing, and arithmetic, it is clear that the administration and faculty have also been teaching important lessons in compassion and generosity, which I am sure went along very well with the lessons being learned by these students from their families. Ward Elementary met the call for assistance with extraordinary result. Its students should be commended for their giving spirit and commitment to helping others. ____________________
