Dr. Donnie Davis, Principal of Peachtree Middle School opens opportunity to students for community service at Malachi's Storehouse

This happens every Wednesday across the street from Peachtree MS.

As a Peachtree Charter Middle School parent, I received an email from Principal Donnie Davis which brought a smile to my face as I love this proposed connection between the school and the community.  Not everything to be learned can be received in a classroom therefore my sons application will be turned in this week.

Greetings Patriot Parents,

Peachtree Charter Middle School would like to invite you to partner with us and St. Patrick's Episcopal Church, to emphasize the importance of community service and giving back.

Beginning Wednesday October 10th, 2018 thru March 30th, 2019 7th and 8th grade students have an opportunity to volunteer at Malachi's Storehouse, packing and distributing food and other items to those in need. Students will be allowed to volunteer during their connections classes on Wednesdays. Once a month PCMS will conduct collection drives for toiletries, diapers, hygiene kits, new socks, underwear and clothes which will be donated to Malachi's Storehouse, The City of Refuge and The Atlanta Women's and Children's Shelter.
