Heart of the Hornet

Shortly after the devastation of Hurricane Helene swept through our region and the mountains of North Carolina, Ware Shoals Middle School 8th Grader, Mikayla Branham, began organizing relief efforts along with the WSMS Beta Club. As the President of the WSMS Chapter of Beta Club, Mikayla helped to raise $940 and took in over 700 items for the "Hornets Healing Hearts" hurricane relief initiative to aid victims in the mountains of North Carolina. Recently, Mikayla was able to deliver these items with the assistance of local resident, Shawn Davis, to their destination. Ware Shoals School District 51 is proud to award the December Heart of the Hornet award to Mikayla Branham. We thank you Mikayla and all of those WSMS students who helped provide relief for those still hurting in North Carolina. As a district and community, we are grateful for the leadership and compassion of our students and as always...Go Hornets!
