Please see the attached message and service project flyer from one of our former Cedar Grove students: Cedar Grove Families, I am hosting a fundraiser for Cedar Grove's clothes closet called Colts Closet for a Cause. I am an 8th grade student at Palmetto Middle, and it is a requirement for my English 1 class to attempt to improve a problem in my community for my service project. I chose to try to improve poverty by hosting a fundraiser for your school so you can continue to provide clothes for children. My goal is to fully stock the clothes closet for any future needs. I appreciate each and every one of you! If you have any questions, please reach out to Mrs. Jackson at jacksonc4@apps.anderson1.org.
