Congratulations Ellen Clark!
January Teacher of the Month
Mrs. Clark and her husband, Keith, have been married for 35 years. They have two children, Rachel and Reece. She teachers 9th grade English on our Freshman Campus and has taught for 18 years. She loves getting to know her students. They are a blessing in her her life. She enjoys the outdoors, and her family likes to run, bike, camp, etc., and she LOVES to read. If she could go back in time, she would like to go back to the early years with her children. "Like most of us, I would clean the house less often and spend a little more time playing with Reece and Rachel." When asked what she would do with the extra time if she didn't have to sleep, she said "I don't sleep much anyway...I like being up early. I would probably workout and read - and drink a diet coke." When people come to her for help, they usually need help with writing. She said the person who has influenced her life the most is her husband. What keeps her up at night? She said "most often, it is is homework, grading papers, and thinking about what needs to be done the next day."

Congratulations Kelly Crumbley!
January Support Staff of the Month
Mrs. Crumbley and her husband, Josh, have been married for 15 years. They have two children. Vince is a 7th grader at Bank Stephens and Maggie is a 4th grader at TG Scott. She has been the media clerk here for 3 months. She drove a bus for Monroe County Schools for 3 years before coming to MP. She likes how welcoming and supportive everyone is at MP. "I have made friends here that I know I will keep for life." She enjoys shopping, spending time with her family and binging her favorite shows on Hulu and Netflix.
She also loves animals and would be a veterinarian if she could. If she could go back in time she would like to go back to the year her son was born and before her daughter was born. "I would enjoy ever minute of them being babies all over again. They are growing up too fast!" When asked what she would do with the extra time if she didn't have to sleep, she said "I love my sleep, so I'm not sure! Take more naps? lol" When people come to her for help they usually have copying requests. She really enjoys when her former bus babies and students from her youth group come to see her and talk to her. Her church family at Rock Springs Macon and her faith in Jesus have been the biggest influences in her life. What keeps her up at night? --"Worrying about the unnecessary things that will most likely never happen."

AP Econ Students Learn About the Business Cycle
These past few weeks AP Econ students have been learning the inner-workings
of the Business Cycle. Students have learned firsthand about the Factor market and Product market by taking on the roles of Households and Businesses. Students also participated in an online root beer simulation.
They had to buy and produce root beer according to the consumers' wants.
It made for a very intense competition!
