Our teachers who stopped by Peake Essentials today got some bonus gifts! 🎁

Members of First Baptist Church South Hill were on hand with free items for our teachers to help them prepare for a great year. They also donated anything not picked up today to our store stockpile. Come by and check it out this week.

Our community continues to overwhelm us with their support. ❤️
