Stewart and students at LHS receive awards for volunteering with Alabama Sheriff’s Boys Ranch
Presenting Stewart with the award was Annette and David Wright of the Alabama Sheriff’s Boys Ranch. Stewart donated a pizza party to the class raising the most donations. Mrs. Garris’ sixth grade class won the honor. During Stewart’s summer vacation, she organized a school uniform drive and presented more than 150 school uniforms to the needy students in Clarke, Washington and Mobile counties. The Baldwin County Sheriff’s Boys Ranch is a charitable, nonprofit corporation, sponsored by the Alabama Sheriff’s Association and managed by a board of trustees.
Boys live in family situations with house parents on working ranches where Christian principles, hard work, responsibility, manners and loving kindness are used to help children grow strong in body, mind and spirit. The program began 40 years ago. The Baldwin County ranch is located in Summerdale, approximately three miles east of Highway 59 on County Road 32.
“We provide each boy with caregivers and a structured living environment where the children receive love, stability and a safe place to call ‘home’. Each boy is required to participate in livestock care, farm work and lawn care. Ranchers are taught responsibility by completing daily chores and participating in daily family devotionals and pledging allegiance to the American flag. They also attend church and schools in their local communities and participate in extracurricular activities such as youth groups, sports and clubs.
