Through the generosity of Ayden and Luke Marshall, the Parkway School of the Arts Program is $598 richer. Ayden and Luke are my grandsons. Their birthday was January 20th. Their mother, seeing how much the boys receive at their party, suggested to them that perhaps they didn’t need so much and that it might be a nice idea to ask for donations to their grandmother’s school. The boys did not hesitate and could hardly wait to call and tell me that they were asking their friends to donate money to our arts program instead of buying them presents. I really wish I had the words to express my love for their generous spirit – and their mother’s. Thank you, Ayden and Luke. And thanks to all of their friends who heeded the call. That money translates into two much needed flutes for students in our program. As my mother always said, “The Lord doesn’t sleep!” Oh, yes. Ayden and Luke are just six years old!
