Financial Freedom Club Holds Inaugural Meeting
As many students are aware, high school students are rarely offered financial advice, neither in classes nor outside of school. To fill this void, two Piedmont students, juniors Ashu Lala and Garrett Tomberlin, created the Financial Freedom Club. Lala and Tomberlin wish to โeducate students on financial literacyโ with their combined knowledge of financial systems. They will teach students the importance of investing and savings starting out as early as high school. They both plan to expand their club and assist students in laying out their financial paths, so they can create and generate wealth as they have. They will be meeting every other Friday after school in Room E3, as well as streaming their meetings on Microsoft Teams. See Social Studies teacher Brian Pitoniak for more information.

Landri Bigham Receives John H. Crowder Service Award
The Board of Education continues to honor students who are making a difference in their school and community with the John H. Crowder Service Award. At the Nov. 4 meeting, a Piedmont High School senior, who is a shining example of dedicated leadership and volunteerism was honored. Landri Bigham is an excellent student and a wonderful role model for others. She is ranked at the top of her class at Piedmont High School. Landri is a member of both the National Honor Society and the Beta Club, in which membership is determined by GPA and commitment to community service. Through these two clubs, she has been able to give her time to an organization called Heart for Monroe and Common Heart Food Pantry. At Heart for Monroe, a nonprofit organization that exists to address homelessness and build relationships in our community Landri helps with the closet ministry. She spends her time there sorting clothes, assisting shoppers, and managing the check-out area. Landri is also an integral part of the Piedmont High School family through her involvement in activities on campus and through sports. These activities showcase her true zeal for wanting to help those around her. She is also a part of student government, where members are always trying to engage the student body and make decisions that affect all students. Last year when students were struggling with online learning, Landri stepped up and did peer-to-peer tutoring. She would spend her mornings before school, meeting with students to help them with their schoolwork.
