E. Wilson Morrison students go all in this Christmas season for this community’s veterans
The Early Act students at E. Wilson Morrison Elementary School proudly display some of the “Change Jars” used in their second annual “Change Wars.” Early Act students challenged all of the classes at the school to raise as much money as possible, in order to help the families of local veterans, who have fallen on tough times.

These families are identified through the non-profit organization “Able Forces Foundation.” The founder and CEO of this organization is US Army Veteran “Skip Rogers.” Skip also founded the “Adopt a Warrior for Christmas” program, through Able Forces, in order to offer an extra hand up to vets during the holidays.
Last year, the students raised just over $500. This year, they more than doubled that, with a grand total of $1,101.11. All of the proceeds will go to Able Forces for the “Adopt a Warrior for Christmas” program.
The winning class this year was EWM Kindergarten teacher Julia Johnson (pictured below)’s class, which raised $262.45. The Kindergarten class, as a whole, raised $356.23!!
