Sumner Gives Back: Students Build Beds for Peers in Need
Sumner County Schools is launching a new #SumnerGivesBack initiative to provide beds for students in need. Funded by the Hendersonville Evening Rotary, this hands-on project allows students to build beds for their peers while reinforcing the values of civic responsibility and community service.
Students from Westmoreland High, Beech High, and Gallatin High are working with the nonprofit Sleep in Heavenly Peace - TN, Sumner Co, which has provided tools and set up an assembly line to guide them through the process.
This initiative was sparked by increasing requests from the district’s Family Resource Center, which supports students facing financial hardship. Many of these requests have been for beds, as some students are currently sleeping on the floor. In response, Sumner County Schools partnered with Sleep in Heavenly Peace and the Hendersonville Evening Rotary to meet this critical need.
Thanks to the Rotary’s generous donation, 30 beds will be built, with all materials, mattresses, pillows, and bedding fully covered. Volunteers from Sleep in Heavenly Peace will assist students and help deliver and set up the beds in the children's homes.
