As summer comes to a close, SBT and Watercraft Superstore continue their mission of supporting the community and local public schools. Sandy Lane Elementary and Skycrest Elementary were selected again this year to receive a donation of t-shirts for their faculty and staff. The two schools are located in North Greenwood and are in close proximity to the companies' factories. Student t-shirts were also donated to Sandy Lane Elementary and will be sold by the PTO as a fundraiser. Sage Pickren, director of community outreach, explains the companies' decision to donate, "Public schools are often under funded and lack resources that help promote healthy school climate. T-shirts increase school spirit and improve teacher morale, which has large impacts on student growth and achievement. It's nice to see our company logos around the community on the back's of hardworking educators who are improving the lives of young children."

Local public schools cannot compare to private ones, but that does not make them any weaker. If you are thinking of using your prestige to achieve things, then you need to think about how you do it. I know that public schools are not that great, but they are still a way to get education. We have to use whatever we can, especially those who are less fortunate in life. Public schools are here to help us all achieve our dreams.
