  Foundation will help Blue Ridge School
SMN


A new foundation has been formed to help raise funds to provide supplemental resources to Blue Ridge School, the pre-K through grade 12 public school that serves the southern portion of Jackson County.

The new Blue Ridge School Education Foundation includes DeWayne Mills, a Cashiers businessman and Blue Ridge parent; Susan Waller, a veteran Blue Ridge third grade teacher Susan Waller; Andrew Shaw, a local Ford dealer and Blue Ridge parent; and Cynthia Fowler, a parent, homemaker and community activist.

The first major fund-raising event will be a barbecue to be held at the Village Green in Cashiers on Memorial Day weekend.

Anticipated projects include providing additional computers, supplies and scholarships. For more information email the foundation at brsef@cashiersvalley.com.
