WLTX's Teacher of the Week
In April, Mrs. Janet Sumter was announced as WLTX's Teacher of the Week. Mrs. Sumter was nominated by the mother of one of her students, Meghan. She was very surprised and said she was just giving the students what they deserved, 110% of herself.
Gadsden Elementary's Garden
Librarian Mrs. Swygert and 3rd grade teacher Mrs. Smathers have started a garden in the courtyard at Gadsden Elementary. Lowe's Home Improvement on Garner's Ferry Road graciously donated soil, flowers, fruits, and vegetables to our school so that we could start this garden. We are planting watermelon, cucumbers, squash, zucchini, and tomatoes. We can't wait to harvest as school ends, over the summer during summer school, and into the fall as school starts back again.
