Allison Fogg Homecoming

Forrest City School District
Press Release

Some friends from Lincoln Middle School are showing their support as their friend and former co-worker Allison Fogg comes home from receiving her second heart transplant. Allison and her husband Scott have a 5th grader, Peyton Fogg at Lincoln Middle School.

Nearly every teacher and student are wearing green pins that say, "Welcome home Mrs. Allison", honoring their classmate's mother who is recovering from heart transplant surgery. The color green was chosen to bring awareness to organ donation.
