LHS Students Support Classmate and Family

Mr. Donnie (D.J.) Brantley, father of sixth grader, Tay Brantley, was involved in a motorcycle accident on September 1. He was airlifted to UAB hospital because of his critical condition.  He has already undergone some surgeries to repair a ruptured bladder, broken pelvis, broken legs, and
broken arms. He faces more surgery.   Coach D.J. has volunteered as a football coach with our termites and mini-mites.

Since this family is facing weeks of hospitalization, LHS students wanted to help and help they did! In just three days, the sixth graders donated over $250.00 and at least $100 worth of snacks for the family.  The students and teachers presented Tay with the donations.  Several tears and prayers were
shared with him. It is refreshing to see students give willingly and pull together in time of need.
