According to reports a group of four seniors from North Sand Mountain (NSM) High School opted to do a very good thing. Of their own free will, NSM seniors Saige Brazelton, Kamryn Patterson, Briley Cornelison, and Jace Shankles, purchased backpacks for students in need at their school. However, they didn’t stop at their own school. The group traveled throughout the county to Flat Rook, Bryant, Rosalie, Pisgah, and even to DeKalb County’s Ider High School to distribute the backpacks they had purchased. North Jackson Press and its sister newspaper Mountain Valley News would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to these thoughtful seniors. We are proud of you for your kindness to others.
