Communities in Schools Benefits

A group which included members of Bolivar’s Methodist Church received an award from Hardeman County’s Communities in Schools.

“Your continual donations of money, clothes, food, basic hygiene products has helped meet the needs of many! We would also like to thank the private donor for the check,” said Bolivar Central Coordinator Sherry Hoyle.

A nationwide organization with dedicated faculty in both Bolivar Central and Middleton High Schools, Communities In Schools attempts to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.

The focus is on improvement in school attendance, achievement, and graduation. The programs help with many other aspects of quality of life, providing necessary resources like clothing, hygiene items, and food to students who show a need.

The Middleton program is coordinated by Monterio Williams.
