Many of those donations will go to benefit needy students within the school system. Burns Middle School LOTC cadets unloaded and sorted the rest today at the Salvation Army's collection site to make the holiday season a little brighter for families throughout the Gulf Coast.

Students at several MCPSS schools have learned about and developed a love for art through a partnership with Amp Up Arts, a program of the Mobile Arts Council that brings artists into the schools. Local artist artist Hannah Georgina Legg has collaborated with students at George Hall Elementary on a mural gracing its main hallway, and is now back to help them create another masterpiece. We can wait to see it when it's finished! #LearningLeading #PerseverancePropelsProgress
