After the terrorist

attacks Sept. 11, many people stepped up to volunteer whatever they had

to help the victims and their families.

Cary Pryor,

a student at The Bedford School, wanted to do something to help as well.

"We were

watching the news at school and we wondered what we could do to help,"

said Pryor. "We thought if we sold something, we could donate the

money we made." Pryor began to make bracelets with beads of patriotic

colors and her classmates have helped out. The bracelets vary in design

and price. So far, they have made more than 200 bracelets and have raised

over $160.

Mike Holmes,

owner of an area Chic-fil-A, heard about the bracelets and invited them

to be a part of the community yard sale and car wash last Sunday in the

restaurant parking lot. The money raised by The Bedofrd School's booth

would be donated to the New York 9/11 Relief Fund and the American Red

Cross.

Pryor and her

classmates will continue to make the bracelets as long as people want

them. If you would like to purchase some of the bracelets, phone The Bedford

School at 770-774-8001.
