Tiller teachers thank Mercy

The teachers and staff at Tiller Elementary School thank the Mercy Foundation for their strong commitment to bettering the lives of our students.

Trina Gwaltney, of Mercy Foundation, serves as school nurse and teaches health to our students. She also connects us to resources within our community when a student needs an eye exam, hearing test or any other medical need.

We’ve been fortunate to receive from the Mercy Foundation many personal hygiene supplies, such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap and deodorant. In recent years we’ve received funds to buy a washer and dryer, and install a shower.

New shoes for students who need them have also come to us through Mercy Foundation.

This community outreach is very important and greatly appreciated by Tiller Elementary students, staff, and the people in our community. We sincerely hope funding will continue to support the Mercy Foundation.
