Five Lighthouse School students will accompany their classmates on an Easter trip to Disney World, thanks to a donation from local law firm Conyers Dill and Pearman.
Partner Kevin Butler and Corporate Administrator Keisha Syms this week presented a donation of $4,250 towards the school outing. The funds were accepted by the students, Principal Carla Bodden, and Deputy Principal Olga Gourzong.
This is not a one-time contribution, however. The firm has joined the ranks of other companies and individuals who are long-term supporters of the Lighthouse students, noted a press release.
In recent years, Conyers’ staff has donated gym equipment, a karaoke machine, and a PlayStation to the students.
‘The children melt our hearts with their honesty, hugs and affection,’ Mr. Butler said. ‘We are happy to help them take advantage of this fantastic opportunity to enjoy this special school trip.’
Thanking the law firm for its generous contribution, the principal also expressed appreciation to the wider community for supporting other fund-raising efforts – including a recent Red Sail Sports sunset cruise – for the Disney trip.
The school’s Disney World vacation contingent will constitute 80 people, including 23 students, along with parents, caregivers and teachers.
The Lighthouse School caters to children ages four to 17, who have special learning needs.
