MARTINS FERRY, Ohio – Martins Ferry school officials witnessed an act of kindness at the September board meeting when two members of the Martins Ferry Improved Order of Redman’s Club Post 75 made a donation for students.
Tracey Anderson of the Pocohontas division of the club and member Robin Guy donated 20 colorful bookbags filled with school supplies for Martins Ferry Schools students in need.
Anderson said her club had collected the items for students whose families might not have the means to buy items needed for school this year. She asked Superintendent Jim Fogle to make sure the bookbags and supplies went to students who really had need for them.
The Martins Ferry Redman’s Club made sure each bookbag had everything students need for a successful school year. They even included lunch boxes.
Anderson added that the club is accepting new members.
On hand to accept the donation were Superintendent Jim Fogle, Elementary School Principal Nickolas Stankovich, Middle School Principal Chas Yoder, and High School Principal Joe Mamone.
