    Griggs Student Fund Created To Help Winnona Park Family

    Decatur Metro | January 14, 2010 | 9:13 am

    Diane forwards this note from Winnona Park Elementary School Principal Greg Wiseman…

    Over the holidays, a Winnona Park student lost his mother. Robin Griggs, mother of second grader David, tragically died of a brain aneurism on December 22. The family members that are taking care of David and his older siblings have stated that they would welcome donations at this time to help with remaining expenses and care for the children. At this time, the Griggs Student Fund has been set up for this purpose. Donations can be made to:

    • The Griggs Student Fund
    • Decatur First Bank
    • 1120 Commerce Dr.
    • Decatur, GA 30030
    • Attn: Ann Berg
    • Ph: 404-373-6549

    We’d prefer donations be made directly to the bank, but if it is easier to bring donations to school (check only please) we will accept them here.

    Thank you.

    Thank you for your consideration.

      Our student has older siblings at Glennwood Academy and DHS as well.

      Thanks

      I’m not sure if it matters, because they would need the help regardless, but these students have an address that is located within the housing authority. I know they could really use the help. I’ve already sent my check over to the bank! Thank you, Greg, for letting us know about this.

      How horrible. I’ll be sending a donation too. Just think of how helpful it will be if everyone who reads and posts on this blog donates. We need to show that Decatur takes care of its own.
