The Board of Education recognized the organizers of the comprehensive health clinic at Old Town Elementary School, as well as donors for the purchase of M. Douglas Crater Field and Stadium, as exceptional community partners during their meeting last week. The time, money, and effort provided by these community partners have reduced barriers to access for healthcare and athletic opportunities on WS/FCS campuses. Thank you for supporting our students!

Old Town Elementary School held a ribbon cutting for their new food pantry on Friday morning. The program is sponsored by the Food Lion Feeds initiative, which not only provided inventory and storage supplies, but also surprised staff with a $2,500 gift card to support the pantry during the ribbon cutting. This new resource, along with the school’s recently opened comprehensive health center, will support Old Town students and families by providing access to food and other essentials on campus.

"If you want to help kids, you go where the kids are, and the kids are in school," said School Social Worker Sam Zivin. "We're incredibly fortunate at our school to have wonderful community partners who help us turn big ideas into reality."
