Former Lamar High School principal Medlin encourages Willard students to help Joplin tornado victims

Former Lamar High School Principal Dr. Kent Medlin, now superintendent of the Willard School District, is one of many southwest Missouri school officials pitching in to help Joplin tornado victims, according to a Springfield News-Leader article:

Willard Superintendent Kent Medlin challenged the 4,200-student district to "fill a truck with donations."


It's part of a larger effort by the Willard Chamber of Commerce to collect items quickly.

He called in building principals to organize the help. The chamber will pick up donated items on Thursday.

"I know this is only 1-day notice, however the need for the supplies is immediate," Medlin said in a release. "This is one small way that we can help this effort."
