Farragut Middle School’s Parent-Teacher Organization continuously works to show its appreciation to the school’s teachers and administrators in many ways, one of which is to provide plentiful snacks throughout the year. However, with school being finished for 2019-2020, PTO president Mary Cook said she and other members decided to share what already was on hand with front-line essential workers in the community recently. It delivered eight goody-filled baskets on Good Friday, April 10, to two Rural Metro locations; Tennova Medical Center; the Farragut Post Office; Autumn Care, Farragut; NHC Farragut; and Knox Vounty Sheriff’s Office West Precinct. “We just wanted to give back to the community,” Cook said. “We can’t give them money, but we could share what we had.”
