Spalding County 4H Director Elizabeth McGregor came to the board of education meeting last evening to recognized the first place winners in the annual 4H Cloverleaf District Project Achievement event. 55 students from Spalding County participated (the largest delegation at the event) and 17 students won first place.

The first place winners were: Lukas Askew - Futral Road - Fresh Water Fish and Shellfish; Brennan Butler - Futral Road Elementary- Paleontology; Cornelius Daniel - Futral Road Elementary - Arts; Rhylan Evans - Cowan Road Elementary - Team Sports; Kiana Garcia - Jackson Road Elementary - Rabbits; Tristan Jones - Jackson Road Elementary - Environmental Science; Liam Miller - Crescent Elementary - Forestry/ Wood Science; Connie Mosqueda - Carver Road Middle - Performing Arts/ Dance; JB Nemyer - Trinity Christian - Science; Cooper Normand - Futral Road Elementary - Target Sports; Alexis Pritts - Moreland Road Elementary - Creative Stitchery; Jaliyah Smith - Jordan Hill Elementary - Public Speaking; GiGi Stonica - Trinity Christian - Arts; Taylor Tolen - Crescent - Communications; O'Nyah Walters - Crescent - Interior Design; Erin Williams - Jackson Road Elementary - Marine and Coastal Ecology; Rylee Winebrenner - Crescent Elementary - Human Development.

Game Night is a great opportunity to learn fun literacy and math games that you can take home and play with your child. These activities help make learning exciting while spending quality time together as a family.
Be sure to register by 2:30 PM today if you would like pizza so we can make sure there is enough for everyone!
#WalkTheWalk
Students spent the day surrounded by books and authors — attending workshops and talks led by authors, creating book-themed crafts, and listening to the keynote speaker, Gordon Korman (yes, that Gordon Korman!). They also enjoyed an author Q&A panel and had the chance to meet several authors and get their books autographed.
It was a full day of celebrating reading, creativity, and the joy of great stories. We are so proud of our readers for representing our school so well!

District leaders and community stakeholders visited classrooms across the building to read with ALL of our students and share their love of books. It was a great opportunity for students to see strong role models demonstrating just how important reading is.
A big thank you to these wonderful gentlemen for taking time out of their day to invest in our students and encourage a love of reading! Thanks to Connor Westbury Funeral Home, Carver Road Baptist Church, Spalding Co Parks/Rec, Mentorship, Brightmoor Hospice, and GSCS for serving in our school for this event. #WalkTheWalk #ReadersAreLeaders
