Donation event

The Hamilton County PTA Council is sponsoring an event Nov. 30 from 4 to 5 p.m. at the Hamilton County Department of Education central office off of Bonny Oaks Drive. The community is welcome to come drop-off donations for the families at Woodmore Elementary impacted by the crash.

The day after a tragic bus crash killed several Woodmore Elementary School students, the community rallied support for the victims and their families.

Hamilton County Schools remained open Tuesday, and a swell of counselors were on hand at Woodmore Elementary and the two schools it feeds into – Dalewood Middle School and Brainerd High School. Hot food was also delivered to the schools.

“Those that want to come to school, we are here to reach out and help,” Hamilton County Schools Interim Superintendent Kirk Kelly said.
