Kindergarten students at East End Prep embark on road to college
All of the work done by the leadership, staff, faculty, volunteers and friends of East End Preparatory School begins to pay off for 91 kindergarten students and their families.
During the first full day of classes Aug. 9, students made their way around to the back of Dalewood Middle School, 1460 McGavock Pike, Nashville, where East End Prep calls home. The students entered under a large green sign that reads, "The Road to College Begins in Kindergarten" and were led to their classrooms for breakfast and an exciting day of learning.
East End Prep is a free, public K-5 charter school and an educational outreach of Martha O'Bryan Center. The school will start with kindergarten and add a grade level each year.

The unexpected gift from Martha O'Bryan Center Summer Camp
Betty Hadley, a retired teacher and counselor at Isaac Litton Junior High School, made a gift this year to Martha O'Bryan for Summer Camp. When she received a thank-you letter from a youth who attended the camp, Betty continued her support by generously donating needed school supplies.
Betty is on the outreach committee at Westminster Presbyterian Church. Martha O'Bryan Center thanks generous donors like Betty for their continuing gifts that support youth on their path to college and a great future.
Healthways shows its volunteer spirit at Martha O'Bryan Center
Healthways employees Paul Cummings, Patricia Lynch and Jay Moore share their experiences during a company community service day the Martha O'Bryan Center in July. They were among 100 Healthways team members from across the country who worked in groups on maintenance and improvements to the facility and grounds of the Center. Martha O'Bryan admires and appreciates the volunteer spirit of our Healthways friends, who through their efforts saved the Center approximately $3,500. Thank you!
