they represent just one of the
many ways in which county
schools are Improving.
On Sept. 27, a Coffee was
enjoyed by the first grade

mittee chairmen at Morrow

the fine arrangements and de

an after-school get-together to
meet the “new” teacher Miss

room.
The really big news is that the

main money-raising project the

is most usually a “howling
success.” Watch this paper and

held following the Carnival.
The October PTA meeting is
