East Side honors school board members

East Side Principals Tammie Canada and Yvette Blue honored Haywood County School Board members during School Board Appreciation Week in late January by placing signs in their yards marking their service to the students in Haywood County. In addition, the principals gave each board member a personalized calendar and a “meal ticket” for two to have lunch or dinner at the Kreme Kastle restaurant. Also as part of the week-long celebration, East Side students wrote letters of appreciation to school board members, and the students and staff signed a banner of appreciation that was displayed at the board of education central office. School Board members are Harold Garrett, Robbie Jarrett-King, Pearlie Hess, Allen Currie, and Daniel Thornton.
