Community Member Cheryl Walker contacted the Griffin-Spalding County School System (GSCS) with a desire to give back and help students. Walker was put in contact with GSCS Social Worker Keisha McGill who helped identify students with back to school needs. On August 23, at special ceremonies held at Cowan Road Elementary and Moreland Road Elementary, Walker presented gift cards and presents to nine families totaling 22 GSCS students.
“I come from a large family of love and am always looking for a way to bless others. I was sitting at my desk a few weeks ago and thought about it being back to school time. All of the sudden I had a strong feeling come over me to help some students. I shared my idea with my colleagues and together we were able to provide resources to over 20 students,” said Cheryl Walker.
Walker is a senior commercial sales manager at First American whose territory spans from Atlanta to the Florida line. She has over 24 years of experience in the finance industry.
GSCS Social Worker Keisha McGill stated, “I am elated that Mrs. Walker is so generous and chose to help our families. It takes a village to raise a child. This is a blessing for our families. We are so thankful for community support.”
