After tragic spring, Chadwell Elementary ends year with $20,000 gift
A Nashville elementary school received a $20,000 donation as it rounds out a school year recently marred by tragedy. "Chadwell Elementary School ended the school year on a high note this morning," a May 22 Facebook post from Metro Nashville Public Schools read. Nashville wedding boutique Vow'd, which is owned by Stand Out for Good, gives part of its proceeds away to community organizations every Monday, according to the post. It teamed up with national nonprofit to make the gift to the school a reality. Chadwell Elementary, located in Madison, serves around 500 students. Teachers and school counselors will split the money evenly to purchase classroom supplies, furniture, books and other items through the vendor marketplace on Chadwell Elementary Principal Michael Beno said he and his team are thrilled to receive the gift. "Our teachers will be able to start the next school year with more supplies and furnishings for their classrooms as they continue to create high-quality learning environments for all of our students at Chadwell," Beno said in an emailed statement. Chadwell Elementary faced tragedy last month when an early morning stabbing left 52-year-old Niurka Alfonso-Acevedo dead in the parking lot. A statement from the district said Alfonso-Acevedo was part of the custodial staff at the school and had just arrived for her shift. No students were on campus at the time of the stabbing. The statement said the MNPS community was "deeply saddened" by the attack. Police said the attack was domestic violence and later arrested 54-year-old Candido Raul Rubio-Perez, the woman's estranged husband, and charged him with criminal homicide.
