It has been a crazy summer for educators. And the school year just started, so I’m sure the craziness is not over yet.
In the midst of furloughs, organizing classrooms, meetings, and orientations, we held our annual Brown Bag Luncheon for all of the new teachers in Rome City, Floyd County, and all of the area private schools.
Because of budget cuts there are fewer teachers starting their new year in Rome, but we were excited to celebrate none the less!
The event was held at the Coosa Country Club with spectacular food, fun door prizes, and an excellent speaker full of encouragement and excitement. The day could not have been better!
Our speaker was Mr. Dexter Mills, Executive Director of the Northwest Georgia RESA. He spoke from experience and gave teachers encouragement to start their new positions with enthusiasm.
Overall, it was a fantastic lunch full of fun people, great conversation, and an exciting start to a brand new school year!
Happy first day of school, new teachers!

[...] The Brown Bag Luncheon – You may remember this tradition as the Red Apple Luncheon, but whatever you call it, it’s the lunch that we sponsor to welcome new teachers to our schools every year. [...]
