Suds & Sweets raises money for adoption

In October, Mountain Brook Junior High ninth-grade football players and cheerleaders raised $2,300 for John and Maryann Pledger’s adoption of two children from China through a Suds & Sweets event. The students set up a car wash and bake sale at Brookwood Baptist Church on what turned out to be a rainy day.

John teaches social studies at MBJH and coaches football. He and Maryann live in Brookwood Forest with children Lauren, Ayden, Anna Claire and Adelaide and will soon bring home two boys from China. To learn more about their family’s adoption, visit aydenalexander.blogspot.com.
