MARYVILLE, Tenn. – First Tennessee Foundation recently made a $5,000 contribution to the Maryville City Schools Foundation. The grant will be used to help economically disadvantaged students in the Maryville City Schools District to reach their full potential to succeed in school by capitalizing on their strengths, learning new skills, and connecting families with community resources in ways that support emotional, social, and academic needs.
“We are honored to be a contributor to this program so economically disadvantage students have a better opportunity for success in the classroom,” said Greg Wilson, First Tennessee’s Maryville regional president.
“First Tennessee Foundation’s Community Impact grant to Maryville City Schools Foundation shows they understand the importance of assisting students from low-to moderate income families,” said Barbara Jenkins, Executive Director of the Maryville City Schools Foundation. “The $5,000 grant will allow us to expand the services and number of students impacted through our Children’s Fund partnership with the Maryville City Schools’ Family Resource Center. We are grateful and honored by First Tennessee Foundation’s commitment to our program.”
