Concerned Black Clergy donates supplies to students
Students at Cascade Elementary in west Atlanta will receive backpacks and school supplies as the result of a donation from the Concerned Black Clergy of Metropolitan Atlanta.
Members of the Concerned Black Clergy presented 500 backpacks and a check for $1,000 to Principal Sylvia Hall at their September board meeting, according to Atlanta Public Schools’ Talk Up APS website.
The backpacks were filled with books and other supplies, and the money will be used to fulfill additional student needs during the school year.
