Grace Reyes, a senior at White County High School who captivated audiences with her portrayal of Maria in the recent production of The Sound of Music, tragically lost her home to a fire on March 14. Grace and her grandparents managed to escape, but the fire left them homeless.
Grace faces an incredibly difficult situation as she enters the final months of her senior year, with milestones like prom and graduation on the horizon. These upcoming moments will be challenging with limited resources and losing everything she had. To support Grace and her family, the White County High School Theater Department Booster Club is raising funds to help them recover from this devastating loss.
Mary Ann Collier, Principal of White County High School, expressed, “Grace is a great student who has been an integral part of the WCHS theatre program. It is wonderful to see our theatre booster club and Warrior community surrounding this family in their time of great need.”
Grace has been an active member of the Theater Department throughout high school.
The Theater Department Booster Club posted a statement on its Facebook page: “Our mission right now is to relieve Grace and her grandparents from any stress or financial burdens they may have to ensure she can enjoy these last few months of high school and replace what personal items she needs.”
Donations can be made through the White County High School Theater Department Bosster Club’s Venmo account or at the Mary Poppins production by the White County Middle School on March 20, 21, and 22.
