Newberry County SCHOOL NEWS Thanksgiving Week found painters, paint buckets and brushes, ladders, papers, and a lot of activity in the audi torium of Prosperity Elemen tary School. Gradually the dull diginess of the old paint gave way to a glow and shine along with the familiar smell of fresh paint. All of that activity is over now, but the fresh, bright look still remains. Even a dark day will not entirely overwhelm per sons who pass through the au ditorium now. A little bit of paint in the right places can MISS go a long way to add cheer and to boost morale. Thanks be to God for peo ple who care enough to do what they can to brighten this old world of ours (and our old school). Thanks be to God for our “old school” and for de dicated persons whose influence through the school will be felt to the farthest reaches of our “old world”. From the depths of many happy and grateful hearts of children, teachers, principal, and staff members at Prospe rity Elementary School comes a sincere and deeply felt “Thank You’ to the members of the Class of Zion Methodist Church for-the wonderful gifts which they presented to the school this week! Happiness, joy, won der, and excitement can be seen on the faces of boys and girls on the playground as they try out these brand new addi tions to their play equipment. The new gifts included 12 baseballs, 6 bats, 12 softballs several jump ropes, 2 basket balls, 3 footballs with 3 kick ing tees, and 2 volleyballs. As the word spread through the school, there were many eyes aglow with the thrill of the news and even a few tears of joy. It was one of the nicest Christmas presents that anyone could have thought of for our children who have gone for so long with so little. Mr. L. A. Brown, principal of the school, came to bring the news to some of the class es personally. He was so touch ed by the gift that he had to share the good news immediate ly with those he knew would be the ones who would get the most pleasure from the use of these gifts. He also found this an opportunity to point out the Christian love and concern that God’s people have for others even as God Himself first loved us and gave us gifts. He continued to express the hope that this gesture would inspire the children to study hard and to play fairly and nicely with each other as a way of showing proper gratitude and to be worthy of the gift and the Spirit in which it was given. In the use of this equip ment lie the seeds for develop ment of school spirit and re- sponsiblity, team spirit and co operation, a community spirit and concern for others. The Christian witness and example may have some unforeseen and far-reaching results. For all of this, Prosperity Elementary School again says to the Young Adult Sunday School Class of Zion Methodist Church a very big and hearty “Thank You”, and “God Bless Each Of You”. We also wish for everybody a very happy and blessed Christ mas Season and New Year. The Pomaria-Garmany Parent Teacher Organization is at tempting to sponsor the Red Cross Bloodmobile as an an nual project. The Bloodmobile will be at Garmany Middle School on December 11 from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. for do nations. A person will be issued an individual certificate entitling him, his spouse, children, pa rents, minor brothers and sis ters and parents-in-law to re ceive blood in Newberry County or elsewhere for one year with out replacing it by giving one pint of blood when this mobile comes to our school. We would like to have one or more persons to represent each family, ^he supply is greatly needed. It could be your blood that would save the life of someone you loved dearly. If you are 18 through 65 years of age and weigh more than 110 lbs., you may qualify to give blood. Blood can be very ex pensive depending upon the hos pital administerting it if it is available for you when you need it. Won’t you come out and help this worthy cause while also helping yourself by building credit for blood in case of an emergency in your family. You can give every eight weeks or five times a year. Your in terest would be much appre ciated. Put this date on your calendar and remember to give.
