Spring Book Jam gives books to students

Friday, February 20, was Spring Book Jam at Haywood Elementary. This twice-yearly event is sponsored by the U.T. Extension office. Every student in the school selects a book that they would like to own and takes that book home with them at the end of the day. Volunteers from the high school read to the children and share in their excitement. This year “Captain CLean Hands” sent his helpers, Ms. Sharon Sparks and Ms. Tiffany Thomas to speak to the children about the importance of washing your hands to kill the many germs they encounter each day.

“Singing Fireman” entertains students

Second-grade teachers, Mrs. Deck, Mrs. Evans. and Mrs. Philpot, combined their classes recently when Mr. David Smith, our local “singing fireman,” paid them a visit. The children were enthusiastic in their reception to Mr. Smith. He talked about fire safety and the proper use of the 911 emergency system with the students.
