From CCSD: Oak Grove Elementary School Fine Arts Academy and a Partner in Education recently recognized a Cherokee County School District social worker!

Garth Gherardini of Modern Woodmen of America and Oak Grove ES Fine Arts Academy Principal Penny Valle recognized Tara Quinn-Schuldt as this year’s Hometown Hero recipient for the school. Modern Woodmen presents the award and grant in recognition and thanks to those who give back to the community.

“Ms. Quinn-Schuldt works tirelessly for the children of our Oak Grove community,” Principal Valle said. “She goes above and beyond her job duties and responsibilities to insure the children are safe, well cared for, and fed.”

Every Thursday, Ms. Quinn-Schuldt transports bags of meals to the school for distribution to needy children for the weekends. Upon receiving the $100 grant that comes with the award, Ms. Quinn-Schuldt donated the funds to the school to pay for children’s unpaid cafeteria charges.

“I appreciate and value the work of Ms. Tara Quinn-Schuldt on behalf of our students!” Principal Valle said.
