Riddle Elementary School Library recently received a donation of $500 from the Lumpkin Family Foundation. Pictured is Laura Huddleston, who directed the donation in recognition of her five-year employment anniversary with the Foundation, and Jennifer Muzzy, Riddle School Librarian. The money will be used to replace some well-loved student favorites such as Pete the Cat, Elephant and Piggie, and Clifford, to name a few. Riddle is very grateful for this generous gift.

We appreciate your understanding and will communicate when this option can be made available again.
