Rhonda Schnell, principal at Stockwell Place Elementary, said the school is excited to have a new community sponsor.
“We plan to use the donation to start a fund for additional playground equipment,” Schnell said. “We look forward to being long-term partners with fred’s.”
Judy Grooms, principal at Cope Middle School, said she is grateful for the help from fred’s.
“We are in need of some technology upgrades,” Grooms said. “When you have to nickel and dime, every little bit helps!”
