Meet Rashmi Poole!

"My name is Rashmi Poole, and I am a proud wife of 15 years and mother of three amazing children. I am the Owner and Director of French’s Learning & Development Center, a family-founded childcare center that has served our community for over 30 years. As an educator and childcare professional, I am passionate about investing in children, supporting families, and creating opportunities for young people to succeed.

I am a graduate of Amory High School and attended Alabama A&M University before completing my degree in Education at Itawamba Community College. I also hold a Mississippi Director Credential in Early Childhood Education.

Serving others has always been a passion of mine, which is why being a member of Junior Auxiliary is so meaningful. Through Junior Auxiliary, I have the opportunity to give back to the community I love while making a positive impact on the lives of children and families. I am honored and humbled to be selected as JA Member of the Month and grateful to serve alongside such dedicated and inspiring women.

When I’m not working or volunteering, I enjoy spending time with my family, supporting my children’s activities, and continuing the legacy of service that my grandparents began many years ago."

⚾️ After an incredible season and a fantastic District Tournament weekend, JA of Amory is officially closing the concession stand for the summer. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time, purchased a meal or snack, shared a post, or stopped by to support us this season. We are extremely grateful to the City of Amory Mississippi and City of Amory Parks & Recreation for allowing us the opportunity to serve our community at the ballpark.

A special thank you to our Mayor Zack McGonagill for smoking all of the delicious BBQ for the tournament and helping make the weekend such a success!

The most deserving of shoutouts goes to Brittany Stanford Waldrop, one of our newest Junior Auxiliary Provisionals, who absolutely knocked it out of the park this weekend. Brittany jumped in wherever needed, accommodated every request we threw her way, and played a huge role in the success of the tournament.

Most importantly, thank you to our community. Your support throughout the season will help Junior Auxiliary continue investing in projects that serve children and families in our area, including our efforts to revitalize Celebration Station.

Thank you, Amory! 💙

We are excited to share that Carry Hope has officially served its first two Monroe County foster children this week!

Each child received a bag filled with a handwritten card of encouragement and a Walmart gift card. The family was incredibly appreciative, and we are grateful for the opportunity to support children and caregivers during a time of transition. 💙
