We Care for WNC

We are honored to partner with Fernleaf Community School in Fletcher, NC through a statewide adopt-a-school program. Fernleaf’s K-4 campus received catastrophic destruction during Hurricane Helene with school staff starting over with classroom and campus resources. 

 

Mandy Sallee, the Lower School Director, shared this message on behalf of the school:

 

Thank you so much for reaching out and offering your support. We are incredibly grateful for your generosity, and it's heartwarming to know that you and your school are thinking of our community during this challenging time. Our K-4 campus suffered a total loss of our buildings, including all supplies, technology, furniture, and curriculum materials. As we begin the long process of rebuilding, any contribution would go a long way in helping us restore a sense of normalcy and continue providing a quality education for our students.

Here are the easiest ways for our school to receive donations:

 

We would gladly accept gift cards or supply donations mailed to the following address:

Thank you again for your kindness and support. It means so much to our school community, and we look forward to working together as we rebuild.

We will continue to seek opportunities during this school year to partner with Fernleaf to support its students, staff members, and families.
