Volunteers from multiple organizations in the Mathews community painted two Thomas Hunter Middle School classrooms this week that were in need of repair and a fresh coat of paint, just in time for the school’s Aug. 26 fall opening. New THMS principal Jodie Simpson and superintendent Dr. David S. Daniel had requested help, and through a joint effort of Mathews Community Foundation, Mathews Women’s Giving Circle, Mathews Rotary Club and Mathews Kiwanis Club, these volunteers were recruited. Shown at the classroom painting are, front row from left, Bill Stearns (Rotary), Pat Lipinski and Stephanie Tiller (MCF), Jean Howard (CA & J Farm/Kiwanis), Debbie Lambert (MWGC), Sue Sherrill (Mathews Republican Committee), Mary Chapman (MWGC); back row, Mike Pittman (Rotary), Ken Childress (Kiwanis), and David Winch and Ron Lambert (Rotary).
