Students bring
history to life
On March 26th the students at T.G. Scott were able to
see their ART work framed and ready for purchase at the
TGS art show. Mrs. Doolittle did a phenomenal job with
various art stations and having students showcase their
individual pieces of art.
In conjunction with ART night was “A Night at the Liv
ing Museum” for students in grades 3-5. Students dressed
up as people they have studied throughout the year and
gave short informational speeches about them.
The students did an outstanding job channeling visits
from such historic characters as Ben Franklin, Vasco
Nunes de Balboa and Jesse Owens.
Media Festival winners are,,,
The T.G. Scott Georgia Student Media
Festival projects that advanced to State
Level are “BFTS- Behind Our Little Red
Door” by Mrs. Winters’ Class; “Louisiana
Purchase” by Libby Holloway, and “Dino
Barrett” by Barrett Turner. Congratula
tions to all students who participated in
the annual Media Festival.
In classrooms across the globe, teachers
and students work together to infuse tech
nology into their learning environment.
Since 1976 the Georgia Student Media
Festival has supported and celebrated
those efforts.
We know that todays students live in
a technology rich world. Teachers and
parents respond to this by finding ways to
engage students in deep, rigorous, ac
tive learning through technology. Most
importantly, students who create their own
media projects have fun while they are
learning!

T.G. Scott raises $9,000 for
American Heart Association
On behalf of the American Heart Association and the
millions of Americans it serves, thank you very much for
your school’s donation of $8,998.25. Families and schools are
critical links in providing the foundation for cardiovascular
wellness in our country. By holding this event at our school
each year, you raise awareness about heart-healthy living.
And you help us fund more lifesaving scientific research and
critically needed education efforts. Thank you.
Almost every family in America is touched by heart disease
or stroke, and our school’s contribution will significantly
impact our fight against these devastating illnesses.
We hope that our school found this lifesaving effort
rewarding and enjoyable. We are touching so many lives —
and life is why we exist as an organization. Your help and
support are greatly appreciated, and we look forward to
participating again with you next year!
