Volunteers

are also needed to help with the event. Anyone interested in donating

their time or services can contact planning committee chairperson Barnetta

Sanford at [email protected] by April 18 as well.

Community Day

is open to all parents and citizens. According to Warthen, who also teaches

at the school, the sole objective of event is to bring North Fayette Elementary

and the community together for the purpose of fostering a relationship

that will nurture the school's students. By bringing the community onto

the school's campus, school officials hope to open doors for future volunteers

to become involved in the education and development of its students.

"This

type of event will allow us to identify resources that both the school

and community can ultimately benefit from. Our guests will include businesses,

churches, city officials, citizens and all who are vital to the growth

and development of Fayette County," said school principal Louis Robinson.

Although this

will mark the first year that North Fayette has hosted a community celebration,

the school hopes to make it an annual event.
