Literacy Night
Red Bud Elementary kindergarten teacher Azlin Cleveland's students were very engaged in their small group activities today. #TogetherGCS #GordonCountySchools
57 students recently represented Gordon County Schools in the Northwest Georgia Regional Technology Competition. They joined students from surrounding schools to share technology projects in many different categories. Gordon County sent students from eight schools, and all students were local technology competition winners in their project category and grade level.
This was the largest team that Gordon County has ever sent to the regional competition, and all students used their creative, collaborative, and critical thinking skills to develop unique and innovative projects that make our district proud.
Special thanks to the following Gordon County Schools staff who assisted with the local or regional technology competitions: Kalee Bennett, Jackie Brown, Rachel Carter, Brandi Evans, Taylor Fain, Adam Fite, Leigh-Ann Hunt, Chuck Langston, Danny Lowrance, Bryson McGuire, Chad Moore, Caroline Stephens, and Melissa Vincent.
Red Bud Elementary's reading interventionist Sara Hare does amazing work helping these Cardinals grow and succeed in literacy! #TogetherGCS #GordonCountySchools
