Students enrolled in the Monroe County School System were entered into a Christmas drawing on December 16, and today, two lucky students from each school received Christmas gifts from Malik Herring and Desmond Williams. As they are both busy at this time in the NFL season, their sweet moms delivered the blessings on their behalf to MCMS students, Chyanna Batchelor and Melody Herndon, both of whom were overwhelmed by the surprise and the abundance of gifts. We cannot thank these two hometown heroes enough for the generous way they pour back into our community and our students.

Please join us in congratulating Mrs. Leah Skinner, our most recent recipient of 13WMAZ's My Teacher is Tops!

Tune in to 13 WMAZ to see the coverage of this exciting presentation!
