Concord Christian School Middle School students were proud to decorate 20 Tiny Trees last week to benefit patients at East Tennessee Children’s Hospital in loving memory of former classmate, Olivia Kate Newsome, who passed away Sept. 8, 2019, after bravely battling cancer.
The service project also ties into CCS’s Mission Statement: “Inspire students to follow Jesus by equipping them to serve, lead and transform their world,” said Lorna Keeton, CCS’s director of development and marketing.
Each decorated tree further honored Olivia by displaying her life verse, Psalm 71:14.
“She remains forever in our hearts,” Keeton added.
