Fairmount Elementary students in Mrs. Santos’ 4th grade class were building strong opinion-writing skills as they worked together to develop the body of their essays.
Mrs. Santos modeled how to write a body paragraph, and the class created a shared template for stating opinions and supporting them with clear reasons. Students had already completed their introduction paragraphs the day before and are now learning how to strengthen their writing with solid reasoning and transition words.

October is National Principals Month, and Gordon County Schools is proud to recognize the dedicated leaders who serve our schools each day.
Rebecca Champion is in her 21st year as an educator and her 6th year as principal of Fairmount Elementary School. She values the opportunity to lead, serve, and encourage others while helping create a school environment where students can learn, grow, and prepare for the future.
Mrs. Champion believes Fairmount Elementary is special because of the strong sense of community that exists throughout the school. Students, staff, and families know one another well, and that close connection helps create a welcoming environment where people feel supported and included. She is proud of the Bulldog spirit at Fairmount and of the school’s reputation as “the small school with a big heart.”
Mrs. Champion is especially proud of the determination shown by both students and staff. Champion sees students working through challenges, pushing themselves, and making progress academically and personally. She also appreciates the dedication and teamwork of the staff, who work together to meet student needs and support continued growth.
One message Mrs. Champion wants every student to know is that she is proud of them. She wants students to understand that they are valued for who they are today and that she believes in the people they are becoming.
Outside of school, Champion enjoys spending time with her family, including her husband, Jeff, her children Gregory, Bethany, and Naythan, and her mother, Eloise. She also enjoys relaxing on her back porch, visiting the beach, and playing the piano, especially hymns and other meaningful songs.
During National Principals Month, Gordon County Schools is proud to recognize Rebecca Champion for her leadership, dedication, and commitment to the students, staff, and families of Fairmount Elementary School.
