Congratulations to our Classroom Hero, the winner of our Teacher Appreciation Giveaway! We surprised Christy Palmer, a first grade teacher at Waynesboro Elementary, today with a $250 Amazon gift card.

Here are a few snippets from her nominations:
* She is truly an incredible teacher and a shining example of Christ's love every single day.
*She leads with grace, humility, and a servant's heart."
*Mrs. Palmer creates a classroom where students feel safe, loved, valued, and capable, no matter their circumstances."
*She is the type of teacher who prays for her students, celebrates their successes, comforts them in difficult moments, and reminds them they are worthly and deeply loved."

As you can see, Christy is well deserving and we are excited that she is our first "Classroom Hero".

📚 Raising the Bar for Literacy!
What an incredible day we had last week! On May 6th, we gathered to celebrate the amazing progress of our READ Georgia participants and the dedicated volunteers from Mission Georgia from the First Baptist Church here in Waynesboro .

This partnership has been a true game-changer for our students. By focusing on building strong reading support, we’ve seen firsthand how much progress can be made when a community comes together with a shared goal.

To our Students: Your hard work and dedication to improving your reading skills inspire us every day. Congratulations on your achievements! 🎓

To our Mission Georgia Volunteers: Thank you for your time, your heart, and your commitment to our youth. We couldn't do this without you.

To our Partners: We are so thankful for this collaboration. Together, we are raising the bar for literacy in our community.

A special thanks to Mrs. Lairscy, our second grade teacher who helped coordinate this wonderful program.

We are already looking forward to next year and seeing these bright minds continue to grow. Let’s keep this momentum going! 📖💪
