Cartmell Elementary students helped their friends make Halloween crafts last week.
A Carroll County High School band student was in need of a trumpet so Youth Services Coordinator Tracey Reynolds set out to meet the need.
She made a Facebook request and, within a short time, received a call from Danny Tharp, owner of 3D Concrete. He donated $450 this week for the purchase of the instrument.
“It's people like Danny who give back to the community to help meet the needs of our students,” Reynolds said, noting she and Tharp have been friends since their days at CCHS. The trumpet will remain at CCHS for future students.
“The CCHS family is grateful for the generosity of our community, especially when it involves improving the school experience for our students,” said Principal Amy Sutter. “This donation is proof that together we can do so much to support our students.”

“Much of the decisions are based on goals and assists, but I think we will have more players make the team in the upcoming year,” said Head Coach Kevin States.
