On Tuesday, November 29, the Parkway School PTO leaders had an opportunity to give back in the community, by serving a Thanksgiving meal to members of the Deep Gap Volunteer Fire Department. The Department provides fire protection and medical first response to the area in and around Parkway School, and is involved in service regularly at the school.

"It was great to serve the fire department and thank them for all they do, not only for our PTO and School but for the community as a whole," said PTO President Lynne Griffith. The Department helped keep Fall Festival goers safe by handling traffic and pedestrian control in September. Members also provided fire safety to the school's 650+ students in October, among other services. "These individuals do great work in our community all year," said Griffith. "We are thankful for them and were thrilled to show our love in this way." Lynne Griffith, Amy Williams, Kit Jones, Travis Critcher, Brooke Christian, Kim Genboles (and her son, Tanner) were on site to set up, serve, and clean up. Haley Childers, Jenny McCourry and April Poling also helped provide food.
