A heartfelt thank you to Nurse Jade for creating the beautiful bulletin board in Mr. Mobley’s honor, featuring words from his 5th-grade graduation speech last school year:
"Treating others well is the foundation of a positive community." – Mr. Mobley
Additionally, a special thank you to Haven Miller with State Farm Insurance in Rock Hill. Haven, a dear friend of Mr. Mobley’s family, delivered a heartfelt card to all classroom teachers in his memory. She also generously donated bookbags filled with school supplies for students in need.
May we continue to carry his spirit with us in all we do.
With love and remembrance.
