Principals Eat for Education

Susan Frye, Becky Carter, Dossie Poteat, Sharon Porter

On Aug. 8, principals Susan Frye of Piney Grove Elementary, Becky Carter of Kernersville Elementary, Dossie Poteat of East Forsyth Middle and Sharon Porter of Kernersville Middle shared a meal at Fritz on Main in support of Eating for Education, a Kernersville Chamber of Commerce program that provides grants for local teachers.

David Fitzpatrick, a retired principal, owns Fritz on Main.

If you pick up the Aug. 11 & 12 Weekend Edition of the Kernersville News, you will find a photograph of Carter supporting Eating for Education gracing the front page.

The next Eating for Education day is scheduled for Sept. 12. On that day, more than 20 restaurants will be offering specials and donating a portion of their proceeds to the program. During the 2011-12 school year, the program raised about $17,000, enabling the chamber to award 34 $500 grants.
