Community Partners Serve as 'Principal for a Day'
On Feb. 5, community partners served as "Principal for a Day" at schools across the District. This was an opportunity for these individuals to see what goes on in our schools each and every day.
One of those volunteers was George McCanless, president and CEO of United Way of Central Georgia. McCanless, who visited Burdell-Hunt Elementary Magnet School, said that the day provides an opportunity to also see what needs his organization can help meet.
"For me, since we do so much with the school system, I find it beneficial to come see what the actual environment is," McCanless said. "It's all about being neighborhood-based, and since the school is the hub of any neighborhood, it's a learning experience."

Lane Students Rewarded for Reading Success
McKibben Lane Elementary School students who reached their Accelerated Reader goal for the second nine weeks of school attended a STEM celebration provided by the Riverside branch of the Middle Georgia Regional Library. Students had the opportunity to create buttons, catapults, bead bracelets, build with legos, and play the Hanoi Tower game. The school's prize patrol also visited Jerrell Clark, a fifth grade student, because of his love for reading, his attendance at all of the Accelerated Reader celebration and because he has read over 1,000,000 words each year for the past three years!
Hutchings Students Participate in Mock Interviews
On February 20, students at W.S. Hutchings College and Career Academy experienced mock interviews with local business partners. To prepare for these interviews, students learned about interview etiquette, proper dress and preparing resumes.
"We're here to make sure they're college and career ready, and to be career ready, you have to be prepared for a job interview," said teacher Steve Neil.
Several students were also able to come away with job offers from the process. Way to go!
