Peterstown Middle School physical education teacher, Jodi Bowers, would like to thank local donors for their help in the purchase and construction of corn hole sets. She received monitary donations from Derrick and Melissa Leslie, Jessica and Hampton Pitzer, Nicole McKlarney Insurance Service, D. Sharp Logging/Mane Street Salon, and J&K Trucking.
