On Tuesday afternoon, Wes Holcomb, the store director for
the Harris Teeter on Cloverdale Avenue, dropped by Paisley with Harris Teeter
mascot Harry the Happy Dragon. On this particular afternoon, customer service
representative DaShon McCants was the man inside the Harry suit. They were
there to present the school with a check that the family of seventh-grader
Lilly Reed had won for the school in a promotion called the Together with
Education $100,000 Giveaway.

After Lilly’s parents, Jay and Shannon Reed, linked their
Harris Teeter card to Paisley, their card was picked in a weekly drawing for
the giveaway. Both the school and the family received $500 each. Plus a “Prize
Patrol” team from Harris Teeter headed to the Reed home, where they counted the
number of Harris Teeter brand products in the household. The family and school each
received another $50 for each Harris Teeter brand product, plus another $500 if
the family had the bonus item of the week. They did. When all the counting of bonus
and regular products was done, Paisley received $2,950.
The money is being assigned to media coordinator Ruth
Wilcox, who plans to use the money to boost the school’s science holdings.
Wilcox and Lilly were there in the school’s media center, along with teachers,
administrators and two other students - Jasmine Robinson, the president of the
student body, and Andrew Markwalter, the vice president of the student body.
The teachers there included Roshanda McCrimmon, Parrish Tubbs, Tanya Ford and
Jessica Smith. Administrators included Principal Gary Cone and the two assistant
principals, Christie Brown and Lisa Bodenheimer.
