Students and staff at East Cobb's Garrison Mill Elementary School are continuing a fundraising drive this month to assist efforts by the Friends of Mabry Park. The "Money for Mabry Park" fundraiser began on March 15 and is winding down on Wednesday. The Friends organization sent out a newsletter this week saying the response has been "overwhelming" and it has "had to make deposits as the jars were overflowing!"
