For many of us, learning to share was one of the hardest lessons
Mama ever tried to teach us. Yet thekids at Westwood Elementary inCamilla have it down pat. They wentthrough their closets and encouragedfamily members to do the same andgathered over 100 coats to donate toMitchell EMC’s Annual Coat CoverUPDrive. Mitchell EMC has been collecting coats for over 15 years to distribute to those in need in our communities.Through the years kids and adults alike have benefited from the drive. Not only have the recipients been warmed physically by the clothing, in addition their spirit has been lifted by the knowledge that the community supports them in their time of need. The children in the photos have learned not only to share but they have also learned how rewarding it is to help others. It is a double blessing.

Twisted Grilled Cheese Sandwiches2 slices of Italian bread (prepackaged works fine)2 slices of provolone cheese2 very thin slices of tomatoes
Layer the cheese and tomatoes inside the bread. Butter each side of the bread lightly and place in a sauté pan on low heat. Cook each side until slightly browned and the cheese is melted.
This makes for a new twist on the traditional grilled cheese sandwich.

Linemen from Mitchell EMC
recently participated with
Sylvester Elementary teacher
Shala Juster and her 4th grade
science class in an egg drop
project. The children were
tasked with building an egg
‘protection container’ out of
common materials such as
paper towels, styrofoam cups,
tape, etc. The containers, with
eggs inside, were then dropped
from various heights. The
elimination process began by
dropping from small heights in
the classroom before moving
outside to include Mitchell EMC
bucket trucks. Each elimination
round increased in height until
a winner was found by dropping
from almost 35 feet before
finally cracking the egg inside.
As you can see by the smiles in
the photo, the linemen were as
excited as the kids!s The two fourth grade winners wereZakkery Parten and Cartez Porter.
