Two booklets: one aimed at parents and educational consultants, the other at individuals who can change the trajectory of a child's life by offering scholarship funds for a girl or boy in need. The Crossnore School began in 1913, primarily as a result of Eustace and Mary Martin Sloop, both doctors, taking a dedicated interest in mountain children bettering their lives through education. Marching through bouts with moonshiners, wars, depressions, floods, fires and myriad tragedies, the school has persevered to become one of the finest of its kind, a resilient beacon of hope and healing. Writer/art director: Jay Fields/Connie Aridas. Inspiration: Dr. Phyllis Crain, executive director.
