A Special Gift for Special Needs
Progressive Education Program (PEP) students are thrilled by the
generosity of design firm LS3P Associates who presented $500 to their
program. It was at the recent North Carolina School Boards Association
conference that Roberson district representative Amy Churchill put
her card in a fishbowl and won the big check to a school ofher choice-
but how was she to choose only one school? Ms. Churchill ultimately
chose to direct the funds toward the PEP program in order to benefit
all county students with special needs!
The check was presented at the T.C. Roberson High PEP location by
LS3P Senior Vice President, Mr. Paul Boney, who travelled across the
state to meet the the students and their Principal, Mr. Larry Weigel. When he arrived, he was surprised to
be welcomed by a sizable group of students, teachers, and school administrators, including Superintendent
Dr. Tony Baldwin and Ms. Ann B. Franklin, Madam Chair of
the Board of Education!
“Our firm believes strongly that we should always give
back in a way that is meaningful. I cannot think of a better
place for us to make a small difference than in the lives of
these children,” said Mr. Boney. “We really believe in the
vision of education and its impact on the students, parents,
and community.”
