Dear Students, Parents, Teachers & Friends of Education,
Everybody Sings Their Line!
On Monday February 20th, Barrow County Teachers, Administrators and staff met to hear from 2016-2017 GA State Teacher of the Year Casey Bethel about getting to the next level. "We should all still believe in education. We should all still believe in the teaching profession. Teachers still have the potential to radically transform the lives of the students who sit in their classrooms."
Casey's inspirational message stressed the importance of Teamwork. "The mission is bigger than the people, we are better together than we are alone."
What is our challenge?
Be Inspirational: Build Ambition
Be Intentional: Build Effort
Be Impactful: Build Confidence
Be Informative: Build Awareness & Support
Be Invested: Build Relationships

Making a Difference
Westside Middle 8th grade student Cody Sandoval knows a little bit about using his resources to make a difference in the lives of others. Recently, he donated $117.75 to Pennies to Patients in honor of his sister Monica who is currently on her third treatment for leukemia. Cody has saved spare change since 4th grade. We are proud to call Cody a BOLD brother making a difference!
