Chief Judge Jerry Wiese and a team from the court drop off donated supplies to District Court employees kick-in supplies to Halle Hewetson Elementary school.
The names of schools, within a three-mile radius of the Regional Justice Center at 200 Lewis Ave., were entered into a random drawing for the supplies. Halle Hewetson Elementary was the winning school to receive the drop-off of supplies.
“It’s nice to be of service to the community,” said Chief Judge Wiese. “We all know that teachers buy many of their own school supplies, and it was a pleasure being able to be part of an effort to help them and show them that our District Court Cares.”
The supply drive is part of the District Court Cares initiative to contribute to the community. Hewetson principal Mark Connors thanked the drop-off team, led by Chief Judge Jerry Wiese.
