Baldwin High School Class of 2021 Graduation |
|
On Saturday, May 29th, over 200 Baldwin High School Seniors in the Class of 2021 proudly walked across the field of Braves Stadium to receive their high school diploma and made history. These graduates are the first class to have endured and successfully complete an entire school year from start to finish amidst a global pandemic. No one would have ever predicted that their senior year would start the way that it did. However, these graduates quickly realized that they still had the tools to persevere--they adjusted to the new normal, they adhered to the new safety protocols put in place to keep them safe and healthy, and some of them had to adjust to their home being their permanent classroom for the entire school year. We are so proud of the Class of 2021 because they never let the challenges of the pandemic stop them from succeeding and finishing their education. Congratulations to the Class of 2021! We can't wait to see all the great things you will accomplish in the future.
For those guests who were unable to attend the graduation ceremony in person, the commencement was live-streamed to the public via a Vimeo link. To view photos from graduation click the button below.

Baldwin High School Read to Lead Initiative |
|
Baldwin High School's Read to Lead Initiative was a big success in the primary and elementary schools. The Read To Lead Initiative has been an idea BHS Media Specialist Pamela Longino has been trying to implement for quite some time, and finally, it has come to fruition.
"I originally got the idea from the American Library Association READ Campaign that kicked off in 1985. The campaign had posters showing celebrities and athletes reading their favorite books to promote literacy. Last year the Mary Vinson Library received a grant and with that grant, they created READ To LEAD posters of different stakeholders in our community. I saw them hanging in various schools and businesses in the community and wanted to do a spin-off of that initiative," she explained.
When the Braves Basketball team won the State Championship, she decided to start the initiative with them. In the READ to LEAD posters, basketball players are seen reading in different locations to show that reading can take you anywhere. The posters were donated to the elementary schools that the basketball players attended. The basketball players visited the elementary schools to read to the students and donated their framed posters, as well as two books the students read, which were donated to the media center. The books were signed by all the players and coaches.
Posters will also be donated to Oak Hill Middle School, Georgia College Early College, and Baldwin High. Mrs. Longino plans to continue the initiative throughout the coming years. A special thanks go out to Dawson Roberts, Jamey Fields and Jennifer Veazey for helping Mrs. Longino bring the Baldwin HIgh School Read to Lead Initiative into fruition.

A new club has been planted at Lakeview Academy and the school hopes that interest in joining it will continue to grow. The first Young Farmers Club was formed at LVA in May and 6 elementary students were the first inductees into the group. The group is similar to FFA and the members learn about agriculture. It is run by Lakeview Academy Nurse Laise Townsend. Thus far, the club has taken virtual field trips to dairy farms across the nation and learned about plants and seeds. Mrs. Townsend hopes that in the 2021-2022 school year, the club will be able to do more hands on activities, such as starting a egg grading program, raising chickens for chicken judging, and creating a compost bin. |

Lakeview Primary Time Capsule Unveiling |
|
A group of seniors from different area high schools came together at Lakeview Primary to unearth a time capsule they buried when they were all together in 5th grade. The school was then named Creekside, and these group of young men and women were part of Mrs. Cindy English's class in 2014 when they decided the create the time capsule. Mrs. English, who is now retired, brought her former students together one more time to unearth their elementary school class project. After nearly 2 hours of digging, the students struck gold when they found the time capsule and got a chance to see the treasures from their youth that were buried. Some of the items in the time capsule included a class photo, letters they had written to their future selves, and a copy of the Creekside newsletter. |
