William C. Bryant School students and their families’ holiday season became a little brighter and warmer because of the generosity of school partners. Thanks to Advancing Families and Driving Away The Cold Foundations, over 400 NEW coats were provided for students, and over 100 turkeys with the trimmings were given to Bryant families.

In addition, Taylor Tabernacle Church and Citywide Youtharama, Inc. donated beautiful holiday baskets for some parents. With “old man winter” and the holidays approaching, the coats and other donations were welcome gifts. When organizations donate or partner with schools students benefit academically, socially, and financially. Mrs. Hayes, School Improvement and Support Liaison (SISL) in her 2nd year at Bryant, is adamant that school donors/partnerships are valuable resources for students and their families.

There are staff members at Bryant who are always seeking out partnerships that will enhance the lives of Bryant students. When schools, families, and communities partner together, great things can happen in the lives of children and adults.
