Smith Principal), Becky Montgomery(Tennova), Kelly Zeliski (Pizza Hut), and Dr. Lara Rabaa (Tennova Pediatrician)The Ooltewah Harrison Education Foundation (known as D9 for District 9) has been helping students in this area for several years. It's a parent-powered, grassroots organization that was started to help enrich the educational and developmental opportunities for the Ooltewah-Harrison elementary public school students.
Each year, this nonprofit group has several fundraisers that enable these parents to give back to each school in their district. Parents hope their children will see how hard work and dedication for a cause truly pays off. It's all about developing a lifelong love of learning that starts at a very early age.
A huge thank you to our elite sponsors: Tennova, Food City, Pizza Hut, Advance Financial, Morning Pointe, SouthEast Bank, Kiwanis and Walmart.
