During the past two months, students at Decatur High School have participated in two service projects, trying to raise funds to honor the memory of four DHS moms who passed away during the school year. The four mothers, Ms. Barbara Nettles, Ms. Sheila Jackson, Ms. Laura McCombs Schwartz, and Ms. Ruth Golley, were honored today at 3:15 in the media center. Thanks for very generous donations from the Emory Law School, Emory law professor and Decatur municipal Judge Lindsay Jones, and Glennwood Academy teacher Ms. Suzzi Jennings, the students were able to raise over $800.

DHS principal Ms. Lauri McKain-Fernandez accepted two checks from students Ryann Jackson, Ellen Nettles, and Ross Wade (missing Peter Golley). Donations will be made to Our Lady of Perpetual Help Cancer home in Atlanta and the Decatur Education Foundation for student travel scholarships. Congratulations to all who participated in this worthy cause.
