Fill the Bus
For several years running, the staff at Ward Black Law enthusiastically raised funds to purchase school supplies for the students at Faulkner and Southern Elementary Schools in Guilford County. The law firm held several raffles, which included days off with pay and a gas gift cards. Also, a breakfast was prepared by the staff and area businesses were invited to a takeout meal at a reasonable price.
Teachers provided wish lists for their classrooms and the staff was able to fulfill those requests. Additional funds were used for purchasing general supplies for the entire school to use.
A small group from Ward Black, led by S. Camille Payton, delivered the supplies to the lucky teachers soon after school began in September. The experience was rewarding to the staff who participated as well as the students who will benefit from the gifts throughout the school year.
