Special to IFN

JMS Southeast has donated more than $800 to West Iredell Middle School to support the school’s Scholastic Book Fair Share the Fair program. This contribution will enable the school to provide more books for students’ personal reading and to enhance our teachers’ classroom libraries.

The Share the Fair program is an innovative initiative that transforms donations into additional funds for their media center. Contributions such as these not only directly benefit their students but also count toward the total funds raised during their annual book fair, amplifying the impact on our educational resources.

In addition to this direct donation, JMS Southeast supports local initiatives through the proceeds of a vending machine located at their manufacturing plant. During the fall of 2024, all sales collected over one month were dedicated to the West Iredell Middle School Share the Fair fund, further bolstering our efforts to enhance literacy at our school.

“On behalf of our students and staff, I want to extend our heartfelt thanks to JMS Southeast and its employees for their generosity,” said West Iredell Middle School Media Coordinator Linda Campbell. “Their support has brought joy to many of our students, and we are equally thankful for the contributions from G&M Milling and JS Fiber, which have all played a critical role in making our literacy programs more robust.”
