Donation aids multi-handicapped class

-- Contributed

A special donation will assist students in the multi-handicapped class at Buckeye Local High School by building upon their literacy resources. Members of the Ohio/South Ohio Women’s Missionary Society of the African Methodist Episcopalian Church presented a $250 check to BLHS Principal Coy Sudvary which will be used to provide reading materials for the special needs classroom. Sudvary said the donation was greatly appreciated and will benefit more than a half-dozen students. “They would like to use it to focus on literacy, so we want to purchase novels, workbooks and reading material for the MH unit.” He added that society member Brenda Harris, one of the presenters, also volunteered at the school as a tutor. The AME society spans a vast region of Ohio and grants monetary gifts to schools statewide, but Sudvary said this was the first time BLHS was a benefactor. “We really appreciate the AME church’s support of Buckeye Local and its students,” he said. With Sudvary for the check presentation are society members Brenda Harris, left, and Jada Dalton.
