Ms. Green was surprised with the award this morning by Interim Superintendent Dr. Jennifer Scott and Barrow Principal Dr. Ellen Sabatini and will be recognized publicly at this Thursday night's Board of Education meeting!

Congratulations to Jailenne Parrott, pre-K teacher at Oglethorpe Avenue Elementary School, on being named CCSD's Employee of the Month for March! Ms. Parrott was nominated for being "an exceptionally organized educator who consistently advocates for her students and provides high-quality early childhood education" and who "maintains high expectations for all learners while encouraging the development of critical thinking skills at an early age."

It was a great way to start the morning as Interim Superintendent Dr. Jennifer Scott and OAES Assistant Principal Darlene Boles surprised Ms. Parrott with the award in her classroom, much to the excitement of her students!
