[samscommunity] Students Donate $500.00 in honor of deceased SAMS alumnus






MESSAGE FROM ST. ANDREWS MIDDLE SCHOOL:


Eric Holmes, a former St. Andrews Middle School student, ended his battle 
with cancer on December 31, 2007. As a result of his terminal cancer, Eric 
had been featured on WLTX earlier in the year.  Students at St. Andrews 
Middle School had been donating money to assist with Eric's medical bills. 
 Unfortunately, Eric died before the students were able to present him 
with the money they raised.  On Thursday, January 17, 2008, Eric's mother 
visited St. Andrews Middle School to accept the check in his honor. So 
overcome by the unselfish and kind gesture of the students,  Eric's mother 
called WLTX and asked Jocelyn Maner to video the event.  Jocelyn Maner was 
unable to make it and sent a representative. 

Ms. Holmes wanted the media's audience to see what the children had done 
for her son.  The students participated in sock hops  to donate the money. 
 Each grade level paid $0.50 to dance in the gym during their recess time 
(10 - 15 minutes). The Related Arts teachers were in charge of supervising 
the students and providing the music.  When the students were told the 
reason for the fundraiser (to help Eric's family), many more attending the 
brief sessions.  The sock hops took place between the months of August and 
November.  Eric's mother was very grateful for the assistance from the 
school.  The Student Council president, Whitney Dykes, and vice president, 
Nicole Ruff, presented Ms. Holmes with a check for $500.00 on behalf of 
the students at St. Andrews Middle School.
