About the Donor

This fund was established in 2021 in memory of Jillian Smith Crim, who graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in early childhood education. Jill taught at Cartersville Elementary School, the American School in London, and the Key School in Annapolis, Maryland. As folks in Cartersville, Athens, London, Annapolis, and Atlanta well know, she brightened every community of which she was a crucial part. Jill loved children’s literature and was passionate about literacy education.
