Good evening Van Buren County Schools Family,
Yesterday morning, our Upper Cumberland community woke up to learn of the disaster and tragedy that had struck our neighbors in Putnam County. Many of us have connections with those who were directly affected by the loss of homes, belongings, and family. Those of us who don’t still feel the weight of heartache for those involved.
Through times of tragedy and need we are reminded why Tennesseans are known as “volunteers” and are proud to show that the people of Van Buren County live up to that title.
In an effort to help our friends in Cookeville, a collection drive has been established to gather needed items for those affected. Items that are most needed include toiletries, clothing, baby items, pet items, supplies, and food. A complete list can be found on the flyer posted on the school website and Facebook page.
The collection drive with run from today March 4th through Friday March 6th at 10:00am. Items can be dropped off at the high school and at the elementary school. Cash donations are also being accepted. Students can bring any donations with them to school. Donations will be delivered to Cookeville on Friday.
Cookeville Regional Medical Center is also in need of blood. Interested individuals may also donate blood this afternoon from 2:00pm to 7:00pm at the bloodmobile that will be set up at 504 Army Camp Road in Spencer. You can register to donate by going to donor.bloodassurance.org.
If you have any questions you may call SES at (931) 946-2171 or VBHS at (931) 946-2442.
Thank you and have a great evening.
