Local Businesses and Organizations Rally for Second Annual Cupid Shuffle Event at Community School

The second Cupid Shuffle event took place on Wednesday, Feb. 14, 2024. Over a dozen community partners set up booths in the gymnasium to distribute treats. The event was organized by teacher Charmayne Edington and her third-grade faculty team. They thanked the businesses and organizations for their participation.

Edington expanded the guest list from the first year, which was created by librarian Ashley Robertson. The event aimed to introduce community members to the school and teach children about community involvement.

Principal Dr. Amy Dill and counselor Gabe Thompson emphasized the event's positive impact. They mentioned that the children enjoyed the event and that it was not a competition, as every child received the same treats. The businesses also valued the chance to witness the children's happiness.

This year's participants included a variety of businesses and organizations from different sectors. Second grader Melvin Lemons was seen collecting a goodie bag from the Chartwells booth. The Cupid Shuffle event is expected to continue in the future due to its success in promoting community involvement and bringing joy to the students.
