Turlington
PTA lends hand
The PTA at J.W. Turlington School is putting into effect
the "Boot Strap" program the superintendent proposed last
year for Hoke County Schools.
The facilities at Turlington have grown so, it is hard for the
two custodians to keep up with the work.
Members of the PTA met at Turlington at 9 a.m. last Satur
day with work clothes, buckets and rags.
At the end of four hours they had thoroughly cleaned four
rooms upstairs, two lounges, two bathrooms, replaced all
lights in the library that needed replacing, washed windows
and cleaned baseboards.
Plaster in the upstairs hallways was replaced and chipped
paint was scraped from the walls.
The group will meet again for several Saturdays to work to
help keep the school in tip-top shape.
Other projects planned are painting hallways both upstairs
and downstairs, trimming hedges, raking leaves, planting
flowers.
Anyone who is interested in helping with this project is urg
ed to call the school at 875-341 1 and leave your name or con
tact Mack Sessoms, PTA President.
This is only another example of parents showing pride in
the schools and the school system, Turlington Principal Em
ma Mims said.
The next Turlington PTA will meet March 11 at 7 p.m. in
the school auditorium.
Parents and friends of education are urged to attend.
