Here are a few Christmas-related Shout Outs! that we didn’t get a chance to share before the break! Shout Out! to the staff at Vick ES for lining up a visit from Santa, which was a real treat for students and staff. Shout Out! to our Transportation Department (especially Gail Baker) for having their bus-themed Christmas tree featured in School Bus Fleet - a national magazine. And Shout Out! to the Jones ES Student Government Association for sponsoring a food drive for The Hope Station. The school collected more than 400 items (pictured is Ms. Poythress’ third-grade class).
