This week we attended Mississippi’s Educators Rising State Conference and Competition. Let me tell you these 41 kids showed out! I am so beyond proud of their hard work and accomplishments. For the second year, everyone placed and that DOES NOT happen often.
Secondly, I am beyond proud to announce that our district has the 2nd largest chapter of Educators Rising in the entire state of Mississippi!!! We have 41 and the largest is 46. I am so proud!!!!!! We started with 7!
Thank you to all of you who bought Chick-Fil-A, Crumble, and anything else we have done to raise money. These amazing accomplishments would NOT have been possible without you!
