Thank You for Being a Friend… of Peabody Elementary!

The first Peabody PTA Volunteer Appreciation Night honored 150 generous family and community members for all that they do for the children of Peabody Elementary! 

THANK YOU!

We even had a guest appearance from nationally renowned food revolutionary Tony Geraci, the new director of Nutrician Services for Memphis City Schools!

Tony Geraci talking to outgoing PTA co-president Mandy Grisham. 

Geraci visited to acknowledge all of the great things happening at Peabody Elementary.  He has a special interest in us, since he lives in Cooper-Young. That makes Peabody his neighborhood school! 

The Christian Brothers University women’s basketball team also came to our volunteer night. These dedicated student-athletes tutor Peabody students weekly in the STAR Tutoring program!
