Poplar Springs Elementary presents the 36th Annual Giving Feast
Students and faculty at Poplar Springs Elementary performed during the 36th Annual Giving Feast on Friday, December 9, 2022. Thanks to students, faculty, and the community, the school was able to collect and donate toys to the Wesley House. Over the years, many children have received toys from the Wesley House that were presented during this wonderful event.
This year’s Giving Feast featured performances by every grade level and sibling and friend duets, a mother/daughter performance on the piano, and special performances by teachers.
In 2020, Ashley Simpson, PSE’s Speech Pathologist, began the Poplar Springs Elementary Night of Lights. This festive drive-thru light display benefits the Giving Feast by providing holiday cheer for our community and gives parents, students, and the community an opportunity to drop off toys while seeing PSE “decked out” in lights.
The Giving Feast began in 1985 when Mrs. Sylvia Autry was the principal of Poplar Springs Elementary. She wanted students to understand the importance of giving to those less fortunate during the holiday season.
