Christmas came in early August for teachers at Lyman Hall Elementary School as they gathered in the media center Wednesday afternoon to pick up school supplies donated by residents of Village at Deaton Creek in South Hall. As first-year teachers, Ashton McWhirter and Jessica Mobley were the first allowed to go through and selected the supplies they needed for their classroom. They were followed by teachers in their first year at Lyman Hall, then those who had moved to a different grade level and finally, the rest of the teachers were able to receive supplies.
