CEVA provides holiday relief

CEVA has been a solid business partner for Worsham Elementary over the years.

The local company has provided the Junior Achievement program to every classroom at Worsham, donated incentive items for its students and provided speakers during the school’s annual career day. But this year, CEVA went above and beyond the call of duty.

Principal Denise Meister was contacted by CEVA’s administrative manager, April Williamson, who said she and her company wanted to help bring holiday relief to five Worsham families.

Meister readily accepted Williamson’s offer and thanks to the generous folks at CEVA, five families that might not have been able to celebrate Christmas were able to do so.

“This year they (CEVA) asked to meet with the administrative team at Worsham to discuss ways to get more involved and support our students, families, and the community,” Meister said. “Out of this meeting it was decided to have the employees at CEVA sponsor five families at Worsham this Christmas.

“We have many families who are economically disadvantaged, however, CEVA wanted to sponsor families that had extraneous circumstances. We can’t thank the employees at CEVA enough for their kind and generous gesture.”

The five families CEVA “adopted” each received $1,000 worth of holiday cheer.

To show their appreciation, the Worsham Orff Choir performed for CEVA employees on Dec. 13 and then the students toured the company.

On Dec. 15, CEVA and Worsham employees delivered the gifts to the five adopted families.
