SOUTH FORSYTH — To raise money for the March of Dimes, Settles Bridge Elementary School Assistant Principal Mark Graves and teacher Amy Hockenberry placed a friendly wager. Graves maintained that his alma mater, the University of Tennessee, would be just as popular as Hockenberry’s, the University of Georgia, during the school’s fundraiser. The two sold foot-long strips of college-themed duct tape for $1.10 to the students, faculty and parents, raising more than $500 for the March of Dimes.
