Hundreds attend Cook festival SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE The 300 people who came to the fall festival at Cook Elementary School on Oct. 18 got a chance to visit with people from the Winston-Salem fire and police departments, the ath letic department at Winston-Salem State University and the Winston-Salem Dash base ball team while eating pop corn and pizza and listen ing to music provided by African drummers, DJ Joshua Moyer and others. "I played some old Motown and some newer rap and everything in between," Moyer said. Shanika Y. Gray, the parent involvement and business partnership cooi\ dinator at Cook, organized the festival, and, on Oct. 25, she held a thank-you breakfast at Cook for everyone who helped out. Many of the volunteers at the festival are part of 1st Serve, a volunteer group with First Presbyterian Church that has been help ing out at Cook for some time. Volunteers work on the grounds, help teachers with bulletin boards and such, and drop by to have lunch with students who are their "lunch buddies." "We were called to be good neighbors," Danielle Lamphier, who is the co-chair of 1st Serve, said at the thank-you breakfast. "We have a pretty large group of people that love this school and have developed some great rela tionships here." Help from the volunteers is priceless. Gray said. "Our volunteers are the foundation of what we do here." A number of businesses also provided sup plies and items for a silent auc tion. The festi val raised about $800, which will be used to cover such expenses as stu dent field trips, Gray said. Cray Propane bills too high? Stop feeding the pig and get Geo.
