When the tornado hit mid-Tennessee, Sarah and Brent Warner were in Florida visiting family. The Warner family returned home after their vacation to find their house in pieces this spring.
Although no one was injured in the tornado, all of the family’s possessions and the life that they once knew are gone. Without any belongings in their hands, many people have shown concern and are reaching out to help the Warner’s.
The National Honor Society at Franklin Road Academy, Sarah and Brent’s high school, is organizing a fundraiser to help the Warner family. Friend of Sarah, Julia Jenson said, “They lost everything—clothes, books, appliances, pictures, furniture. Insurance will only cover so much. We need to raise money so they can get back to some degree of normal life.”
“Realizing that all your possessions are gone is a very surreal feeling. It is an amazing to know that people at school are trying to help my family adjust to these changes we are faced with and to get our lives back on track. I have thankful to have a family here at FRA,” said Sarah.
National Honor Society is organizing a carnival and dance as a service project fundraiser benefitting Warner family. Scheduled for October 10th, the carnival will be from 6-10 pm in the cafeteria and the dance will be from 8.30-11.20 pm in the gym. Admission is free but donations will be taken at door.

Very nice re-write Julia! Just a few small things:
ReplyDelete1. paragraph 4: "it is amazing . . ." (remove "an" before amazing). Also "I am thankful. . ." not "I have thankful. . ."
2. Do dates like this: October 10, not October 10th.
