Breakfast with the Superintendent and School Board President

School Board President Darnetta Clinkscale and Deputy Superintendent Acting as Interim Superintendent Dr. Pamela Randall Hughes visited Adams Elementary School on Friday, December 10, 2004. Their visit was part of an ongoing initiative that affords administrators and Board members the opportunity to spend more time visiting schools and classrooms. The visit started with breakfast at 7:30 a.m. with more than 150 students. “I think breakfast is important, and what better way to start your day off than with a group of bright eyed and eager students,” said School Board President Darnetta Clinkscale. Both Mrs. Clinkscale and Dr. Hughes enjoyed talking with students about what they are learning in the classroom and how they are doing in school.

After breakfast, both Mrs. Clinkscale and Dr. Hughes visited a first grade classroom that is currently engaged in the new Open Court Reading curriculum. Teacher Mrs. Evelyn Thames was eager to show off what her students have learned since Open Court was implemented in her classroom on November 3, 2004. The students impressively showed Mrs. Clinkscale and Dr. Hughes reading, writing, and comprehension skills. “What a wonderful classroom,” said School Board President Darnetta Clinkscale. “I am so impressed with all of you. I’m certain that you are our future stars, and I want for you to keep up the good work.”

The next scheduled “Breakfast with the Superintendent and School Board President” will be at Soldan High School after the winter break.
