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.

Sunny Hill students reading “Where the Red Fern
Grows”
Sunny Hill students kicked off their school-wide
reading initiative during the first week in September, and all
eyes will be on “Where the Red Fern Grows” throughout the school
year. This classic children’s novel, written by Wilson Rawls, is
about a boy and his redbone coonhounds, Dan and Ann. The story has
for many years fascinated students and teachers alike. “This
initiative is to promote reading,” said Sunny Hill Assistant
Principal Penny Boyd. The entire school will celebrate Rawls’
birthday on September 24 and classrooms will participate in a
birthday card-making contest to win prizes. At the end of the
school year, Ms. Boyd said, the school will hold a “Coonhound Day”
and invite in several local pet coonhounds.
AYP Day Celebration
Sunny Hill administrators, teachers and staff
had a fun-filled day planned for their students on AYP Day.
Parents and students enjoy Sunny Hill open house
Parents and children flooded the halls of Sunny
Hill School on August 24 to attend the school’s annual open house.
Sunny Hill Principal Dorothy Bond spoke to the assembly of parents
and students welcoming them to the school and telling them about
rules and procedures at the school.
Sunny Hill teacher Mike Lee entertained the group when he emceed a
fashion show that demonstrated the proper and improper ways to
dress for school. The student in the short shorts with the cell
phone was not dressed appropriately for school, while the student
in the jeans, book in hand was.
