Sonoraville Elementary 5th grade teacher August Davis led an engaging lesson where students explored the history and economics of the U.S. cattle trails during the 1800s. Students read and interpreted texts about the Oregon Trail and then applied what they learned by playing the Oregon Trail game, where they analyzed the consequences of their decisions along the journey.

It was a fun and interactive way to connect history, reading, and critical thinking, and students were having fun!

Congratulations to two elementary schools for being recognized at the recent Gordon County Schools Board of Education meeting for their outstanding achievements.

W.L. Swain Elementary was honored by the Georgia Department of Education as a 2025 Title I Reward School, placing them among the top 5% of Title I schools in the state for making the most progress in student achievement. This recognition is based on the most recent two years of state testing data in English Language Arts and mathematics. The award reflects the hard work and commitment of Swain’s students, staff, parents, and administration. Accepting the recognition on behalf of W.L. Swain Elementary were Principal Tara Green, Assistant Principal Stacy Calvert, and teachers India Bennett and Monica Nacey

Sonoraville Elementary was also recognized for being named an Apple Distinguished School, an achievement that highlights the school’s innovative use of instructional technology to promote student collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking. Sonoraville Elementary joins Ashworth, Tolbert, Swain, and Fairmount Elementary in earning this distinction, with fewer than 15 schools in Georgia holding this honor. Recognized on behalf of Sonoraville Elementary were Principal Kelly Rampy, Assistant Principal Nicole Burgess, and Instructional Technology Coordinator Whitney Prather, who supported the application and video submission process.

Sonoraville Elementary kindergarten teacher Cher Worley reviewed next steps and directions for her class today as they transitioned from their previous learning task. These students know their classroom rules and expectations! Mrs. Worley has a fantastic learning environment for students to succeed.

Also, Pre-K students took a trip to the Harris Arts Center for their Preschool POPS program today! Preschool POPS is a program designed to introduce the arts to all preschool age children in Gordon County. POPS is often a child’s first exposure to puppeteers, singers, musicians, actors and storytellers. We appreciate the Harris Arts Center for providing this opportunity for our students. #ExtraordinaryGCS #ExtraordinarySES
