Tripp Pender, an Attala County School District student, recently set a holiday gift-giving goal for himself.
Pender started a GoFundMe page with the help of his mother, Evelyn, to gather Bibles or funds in order to be able to provide all of his classmates — more than 60 of them — with a Bible for Christmas.
In the end, Pender was more successful than he had expected, gathering Bibles and nearly $2,000 to make Bible purchases. With all the support, he was able to provide a Bible not only to his classmates, but to every student and faculty member in the entire Ethel school district.
Pender is the son of Tommy and Evelyn Pender of McCool.
