Seth Johnson Elementary grateful for family donation to library

09/09/09 21:36
This year at the Johnson Family Reunion, family members gave most generously to the Seth Johnson Elementary School Library - a total of $1700! On 9 September 2009, Orson L. “Pete” Johnson, son of David Glenn and Vaunita Oswald Johnson (Uncle Dave and Aunt Vaunita) visited the school at 4550 Narrow Lane Road in Montgomery. He presented the family’s library donation to Principal Jacqueline Campbell and Library Media Specialist Joyce Brown. Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. Brown send a very heartfelt thank you to all family members who contributed. The money will be used to purchase much needed books for the library.

While making the presentation, Pete took the opportunity to tell students in the library about Seth and Neva Kate Carmichael Johnson and about their daughter Neva Carmichael Johnson Bassett (Aunt Neva) who gave the land for the school in honor of her father. The picture at right is of Pete with the children and school officials at the presentation. Here are more pictures.

Thank you again to everyone who contributed to the Seth Johnson Elementary School Library. The gifts of reading and literacy are precious.

Thank you, Aunt Katie, to you and all of your family for a wonderful Johnson Family Reunion! Hunter Hills was a great place to hold the reunion - cool, spacious, well located, and fun for the children. The Church had a wonderful new playground and the Murphy’s also provided a huge slip and slide and plenty of fun crafts. All family members enjoyed the display of family photos. They provided a family history lesson and a walk down memory lane. Oh, and the food, food, food... ALWAYS fantabulous!!
