Tameka Wright, Jack Robey Jr. High, Assistant Principal, accepts uniforms donation on behalf of Jack Robey.
Over the years, Maxey’s Plumbing Company has met the needs of hundreds of students in the Pine Bluff School District, in an effort to empower and equip scholars with items needed to eliminate ob- stacles that stand between them and an equitable path to a quality education. “I feel that Debbie Maxey and Maxey’s Plumbing are a valued asset to our district because they are improving the quality of life in the Pine Bluff Community, by empowering children in our district and altering scholar’s path one child at a time.”, stated Jack Robey Jr. High School Social Worker Deborah Thomas. Tameka Wright, JRJH, Assistant Principal, welcomed the latest uniform donation to JRJH Clothes Closet. Wright stated that “Jack Robey is an A -1 School, Therefore, this donation helps to ensure that all stu- dents have the same opportunities for high-level learning.” Donations to the onsite clothes closet are essential to leveling the playing field for scholars from low-income backgrounds, those that relocate into the district, students who lose items due to house fires or facing outside issues. Arnold Robert- son, Jack Robey Principal, also echoed the same gratitude for the donation of over 100 uniform shirts for scholars in need from Debbie Maxey of Maxey’s Plumbing Company.
