Summary
Board recognized student winners and alternates in the Glynn County spelling bee, the FFA's community and fundraising work, and two bus drivers honored for training and service.
At the start of the Feb. 10 meeting the Glynn County Board of Education highlighted student and staff achievements. Linda Rooks, a teacher at Brunswick High, said 14 spellers from 10 elementary and four middle schools competed at the Glynn County spelling bee Jan. 12; Genevieve Carpenter, an eighth grader from Glen Middle, won with the word "syringe" and will represent Glynn County at the Region 8 spelling bee Feb. 28 in Savannah. Camille Nucay was named alternate.
FFA students and advisors described recent service projects — including building raised garden beds with Georgia Power assistance — and a strawberry fundraiser running through Feb. 23 (half flat $15, full flat $25) to support leadership events and attendance at the state FFA convention. The board also used "Love the Bus Month" to honor transportation staff: Mr. Henson introduced Anne Hurley, a driver of 21 years and the district's head driver trainer, and Keyshawn Smith, a recent driver trainer certification recipient who drives for local elementary and middle schools.
Board members thanked staff and students for the work and representation of district schools. No formal actions were taken on these recognitions.
