MBE 4th-graders organize coat drive for Woodlawn school

Fourth-graders at Mountain Brook Elementary School had the recent privilege of organizing a coat drive for their friends at Hayes K-8 School in Woodlawn. 

The students and teachers did a great job promoting the project, which resulted in the collection of a large number of winter coats, scarves, gloves and hats. 

Over the past couple of years, several children from the community have spent time with students at Hayes through a ministry that was started by a group of Mountain Brook friends. The goal is to support the teachers and mentor the children of Hayes.  

It has proven to be a loyal and purposeful partnership for both sides. The needs there tend to be great at times, but this group of Mountain Brook children and their parents are working hard to express their love and solidarity for their new friends.  

For more information on how you and your family can be a part of supporting the staff and children of Hayes K-8, contact Lynn Moorer at Lynnhmoorer@gmail.com.
