Doris Battle, Editor

Welcome to a new year

It is my pleasure to welcome all Haywood County students to the 2008-2009 school year. As interim director, I realize the great responsibility our school system has in shaping the lives of the children. We hope all students have settled into their classrooms and are looking forward to a great school year.

As you may have heard, our system made AYP during the last school year, and we are proud of the administrators, teachers and students for their hard work. This is an ongoing challenge for us all, and you should know that our administrators are ever vigilant in doing what needs to be done to continue this trend in our schools.

I have visited all the schools this year and always enjoy seeing all the children at work and at play. It’s part of our job to provide not only academic training in our schools but also lessons in good behavior, social interaction, the arts, music, and athletics. Each school is providing healthy food choices and exercise opportunities for the students to promote a healthier lifestyle and opportunities to learn through hands-on experiences in many different areas. We want our schools to be a well-rounded learning experience for all children.

So, to all the students and their families, let’s join together for another year to give our children an exceptional educational experience. It’s the most important thing we can do for them and for our community.

Haywood Elementary holds annual music program

Haywood Elementary students raised their voices in song on May 2 when they presented to family and friends their annual spring music program. The music for the first- and second-grade programs was a variety of television-show theme songs, including “Mickey Mouse,” “I Love Lucy,” “Three’s Company,” “Welcome Back Cotter,” and a “Spiderman, Scooby Doo and Batman” medley. Principal Jean Wills and some of the teachers dressed up in costumes of the shows for the occasion.

Students earn awards for achievement

Haywood County Mayor Franklin Smith assisted with the presentation of achievement awards to Haywood Elementary students during the awards program on Friday, April 25.

Ollie says, “Ride Safe”

Ollie, the Tennessee Otter came to visit with his friends, Tennessee Highway Patrol officers, to stress the importance of seatbelts and booster seats for children. Ollie told the faculty and students that Tennessee is the only state that has a child booster seat law, and that children under 4'9" or 9 years old must be in a booster seat in the backseat.
