Lynda Brumfield of the Crafty Southern Belle sponsored an "adopt-a-class" auction to raise money for Mrs. Tawnya Smith's second grade class at Hammond Eastside Magnet. Students were very excited to receive supplies and a snack. A big "thank you" to The Crafty Southern Belle for supporting local students!
