The Spirit of Giving at Walkertown Elementary School


On Wednesday, staff members at Walkertown Elementary School staff trimmed the Angel Tree to kick off the gift of giving.

With the assistance of five businesses and faith-based organizations and the staff at Walkertown Elementary School, families within the community and surrounding area will have something to smile about on Dec. 25, said Yolanda Childs, the school’s parent involvement coordinator. 

“The school is working with Reynolds Tobacco Co., Morris Chapel United Methodist Church, the Pilot Mountain Baptist Association and Destiny’s Discount Toy Store,” Childs said. “In total, there will be 17 families that will benefit from the plethora of Angels who truly believe in the gift of giving and making the season bright for others. Walkertown Elementary School realizes that it truly takes a village.

“Everyone wants something to open on Christmas Day and Christmas just wouldn’t be Christmas, without a gift. Thus, tis the season of gifting, giving and gratefulness but most importantly, placing a smile on the face of individuals whose experiencing economic hardship.”
