Santa came to visit Kaden and all of her friends at school yesterday, and I will let you be the judge on how things went.

Kaden is participating in a new program that started this year at the Union County High School. Rhonda Colwell heads up the Early Childhood Learning Center (ELCC) and is doing a fantastic job. She also has great help!  We appreciate so much Mrs. Dyer and Mrs. Collins along with all the Student Teachers.  They have assembled together as a great team for this wonderful new program for the Union County School System that has kicked off so successfully.

The Early Childhood Education program prepares students for occupations in early childhood care, education or any other field that may require working with young children. This program allows students the opportunities to gain the knowledge and skills needed for furthering their education. The education courses in the classroom foster   laboratory components combine hands-on projects with a rigorous curriculum to prepare students for the most challenging programs including articulated credit through a partnerships with some USG institutions, work-based learning opportunities through the Youth Apprenticeship Program and other career- related activities, and, currently membership in the Family, Career & Community Leaders of America.  For more information about the Education Program, please contact Rhonda Colwell at 706-745-2216, EXT. 1122.

Please be sure to let these Teachers and Student Teachers know what an AWESOME JOB they are doing!

The accountability is based upon the students performance on Georgia curriculum exams and Adequate Yearly Progress status.

The Governor’s Office of Student Achievement Executive Director Jennifer Rippner Buck was quoted as saying, “It is my honor to congratulate your school as a winner in the 2008 Single Statewide Accountability Systems Awards. Your hard work and that of your students, faculty, and community has earned your school a Gold Award for making great gains in student achievement.”

There are more than 275 Georgia public schools that are being recognized for improvement and achievement during this school year, however ONLY 4 High Schools in Georgia received the Gold Award.

Union County High School 1 of 4 to win the Gold Award!

I would like to congratulate Principle Ed Rohrbaugh, his entire faculty and staff, as well as all the students for their hard work and dedication to making our schools here in Union County better, and for their tireless efforts as they continue to strive for perfection. Thank you for a job well done.
