Congratulations to Atticus Tomasic, 7th grade student at Muhlenberg County Middle, for writing a "Spruce Up the Berg" Felix E. Martin, Jr. Grant and getting it approved. Atticus and his family were at the Greenville City Park recently and he recognized the need for shade trees according to his mom, Erin. So, he took it upon himself to write a grant to plant trees.
This is a wonderful example of our Profile of Learner in action. As an engaged citizen, Atticus is making a positive impact in our community by effectively collaborating with the Felix E. Martin, Jr. Foundation. He sought out a solution as a creative problem-solver and skillfully communicated how to fix the issue. Thank you, Atticus, for being an empowered learner in our school and community.
Atticus is the son of John and Erin Tomasic and brother to Tatum and Virginia.
