Barbecue
Students in Mr. Richard Dawson’s sixth-grade
class at Halls Elementary School started the school year with a
cookout at Crichfield Park in Halls. The event allowed Dawson to
introduce himself to his students and their parents. Hot dogs
and hamburgers were served, with a softball game between the
parents and students the highlight of the day. The next event
for the class will be a tailgate party in September at one of
the HHS home football games.
Microscope magic

More Pre-K classes at HES and RPS
At the beginning of the 2007-2008 school year, a
total of 160 preschool children will be served through the
Lauderdale County School System’s Pre-K classes.
With two new classes provided by funding from the
Governor’s Education fund, Lauderdale County now has eight Pre-K
classes serving students who would not normally attend private
daycare programs or Head Start classes.
“Just in the two years we’ve had the Pre-K
program, we’ve seen such success with these students,” said
Superintendent of Lauderdale County Schools Phillip Jackson. “By
the time they finish the program, they are right on target to
begin kindergarten. These same children, without the preschool
program, would have been enrolled in Level One or Level Two
kindergarten classes, classes for children who are not ready for
kindergarten.”
Pre-K programs are provided in the Lauderdale
County School System at Halls Elementary School and Ripley
Primary School.
