Suzanne Mayo, CEO announced today that Mynette Management Co. had adopted McDonald #28 Elementary School in an effort to assist them in securing band instruments and books for the library. This effort is result of attending Essence Editor’s Susan Taylor’s Day of Service and Day of Presence held on August 29, 2007 commemorating the 2nd Anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. “Our energy will go into securing wind instruments and books for the school by their Christmas Break. Several persons from across the country have contributed and are seeking used instruments having them repaired. On December 8th, I will go to McDonald #28 Elementary and present the instruments to the students that we have collected so far. We will let the students know personally of our commitment our love, support and energy towards helping them rebuild their band program. “We have reached out Grambling State University’s Band Director, Dr. Parnell who has joined us in this effort to help McDonald #28 March in the 2008 Mardi Gras Parade,” said Suzanne Mayo, CEO.
