This week, the students sent 88 boxes of freezer pops, two truckloads' worth, overseas.
"The boys are the ones who loaded and unloaded all of the pops (from school to truck to post office). The girls did most of the packing and writing the mailing labels as well as completing the customs form to go with all 88 boxes," wrote teacher and SGA sponsor Shonda W. Copen.
Assisting the Jemison Middle School group was Timmie Smith, a Jemison Post Office retail associate. Several times, Smith went to the school and instructed the group on how to properly pack the items and complete the necessary customs forms and helped them unload the packages when the trucks arrived at the Post Office.

Smith, a veteran who knows firsthand what it's like to be on active duty in a sweltering environment, modestly underplayed his own role in the success of this project. "I didn't do anything but my job," Smith said.
Postmarks wishes to thank the Jemison Middle School students, their sponsors, and Timmie Smith for working so hard to be kind and thoughtful. Your efforts will positively impact more people than you'll ever know.
