Goodwill Manasota recently donated gift certificates to Bradenton’s Horizons Academy so that clothing could be purchased for students returning for the new school year. Trisha Davis, who works in the ESE department of Horizons Academy, used the certificates at Goodwill’s North Bradenton Clearance Center to buy the clothes, which will be given to students in need.
Horizons Academy, which serves students in grades 2-12, is the Manatee County school district’s alternative school. Its mission is to “help students identify and learn how to cope and overcome their academic and behavioral challenges in order to become functional members of the School District of Manatee County population and our community.”
