Burke County high schoolers meet their match – at Icard Elementary

We’re all about these new High School Bigs from East Burke High School, recently matched with kids from Icard Elementary School.
“As you can see, there were plenty of smiles to go around,” Emilie Jacumin-Simmons, Burke County Program Coordinator with Wendi Craven, said.
We’re looking forward to seeing how these new matches and friendships among the kids and the East Burke High students develop.
“It was a fantastic event,” Emilie said of Match Day. “Wendi and I are thankful beyond measure to all of you who helped make it happen!”
