Mr. Jay Patel, owner of Coolidge Food Champ, was selected as the Thomas County School System's B.E.E. Partner of the Year. Mr. Patel was nominated by Garrison-Pilcher and was also awarded Partner of the Quarter earlier in the school year.

 Mr. Patel donated monies to assist with the purchase of shirts for every student to wear during special school events, to lower the cost of school yearbooks so our families could purchase them at an affordable price, to provide dinner for families during parent night, assist with paying for field trips for families that could not afford to send their child otherwise, provide clothes for our clothes closet, and to help sponsor our Spring Fling event.

We appreciate all that Mr. Patel has done for our school!
