Jasper County Primary School partnered with Ameris Bank to have a canned food drive for the holiday season! JCPS ran the food drive for two weeks! Almost 1529 cans were collected at JCPS! All those cans are going to the Jasper County Food Bank for the holiday season. Mrs. Edge is the principal at Jasper County Primary. She is grateful for the generosity of our students and families to support our community. Mrs. Edge would like to thank Ameris Bank for encouraging this collection and working with our students to teach them the importance of giving and helping others. Ameris did supply an ice cream party for the top classes in each grade level. Kim McMichael, Mattie Stodghill and Mrs. Leah Campbell were present to share in the celebration of the canned collection success. Mrs. McMichael is retired from Ameris Bank, but she is very active supporting the Jasper County Food Bank.

We had two 1st grade classes that gave over 400 canes to the food bank. Mrs. Amy Paul and Kaitlyn Tabares are first grade classes who exceeded efforts to collect cans!

We had one kindergarten class that was the top collecting class.  Mrs. Betony Bennett and Mrs. Braley Mitchell’s kindergarten class were our top finisher!

In 2nd grade, Mrs. Rachael Pitts’ class collected the most cans.
