Our hearts go out to everyone affected by the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina. In response, Kill Devil Diesel (home of the famous Gravedigger Monster Truck) is organizing a donation point right here at Great Bridge Middle to gather much-needed supplies for those in need. It is time to show our support to those who need our help the most. Please consider donating items to help. The first delivery of supplies will be picked up Friday and delivered this weekend; however, future deliveries will also be made. If you are able to help, please bring your donations to the office. Suggested items include: water, baby formula, hygiene products, plastic tarp material, non-perishable food, new socks, diapers, etc. Anything helps! Thank you in advance Wildcats!
