Georgia College, one our district's Partners in Education, took notice of some very interesting recent statistics to come out. Not just one, but all six of our Baldwin County School District Teacher of the Year nominees were Georgia College graduates! Desiree King, Elizabeth Hawkins, Stephanie McMillan, Pam Longino, Elisa Koehler and our Teacher of the Year winner LeeAnn Robinson earned some portion of their college education through the Georgia College School of Education.

This past weekend, BHS proudly hosted the 2016 Georgia Thespians LeadCon. LeadCon is the annual meeting of fine arts directors, producers, student actors & performers along with stage directors and set designers from all across Georgia's public schools. LeadCon gives opportunities to promote and develop student leadership in Georgia's Thespian troupes all across Georgia's public schools. We are incredibly thankful to all of our partners today who have helped contribute to Baldwin County being a nationally recognized, award winning fine arts community.

The Baldwin Braves secured their 300th all-time victory against Hancock County last Friday. The Braves pulled out an exciting, last-minute effort scoring the final two TD's late in the 4th. Ty'Christian Henry had an incredible performance with 203 yards, 2TD's and 1INT as he helped take pressure off the Brave's passing offense against a stingy Hancock defense. The Braves look to continue their win streak as they host the powerhouse of Washington County on September 12th.

Just minutes ago, Ginger Lasseter, Manager of Milledgeville's MidSouth Community Federal Credit Union, stopped by the board office to re-commit to our Partners In Education program for the 2016-2017 school year! Accepting the very generous contribution to our schools was School Board Chairman Lyn Chandler, Milledgeville-Baldwin County Chamber of Commerce President & CEO Angie Martin and fellow Partner's in Education Karen Rowell of Karen Rowell State Farm Insurance and Connie Moore of Elite Gymnastics. We are incredibly grateful for the support received from MidSouth Community Federal Credit Union and our many other Partners in Education.
