Holly Goodin participates in International Finals Youth Rodeo Holly Goodin and Lady traveled to Shawnee, Okla., to compete as a member of the Georgia-Florida Youth Rodeo Associa- tion (GFYRA) on the Gatordawg team, in the International Finals Youth Rodeo in July. There were 988 high school contestants from all over the United States competing. It was a fun-filled week of rodeo morning and night performances Monday thru Fri- day with finals on Saturday. You could win a jackpot all night if you wanted to. Holly had a great time and met some very nice people. She placed in the top 40 out of 250 girls in pole bending. The Gatordawg team came in 10th out of 32 teams. She had four clean runs with no barrels or poles down, so we were pleased. It was a great ex- perience and she hopes to qualify again next year. Holly would like to thank her sponsors, friends and family and her church family for the prayers, money and support that they all so generously gave her. A special thanks goes out to Aunt Sylvia, Nanny and Papa,, Uncle Trammel, Aunt Laura,. Ron and Vickey, Ratliff and Associ- ates, Lee and Associates, Janice, David Goolsby, Greg Godwin, Doug Whitaker, Hamilton County Riding Club, David Lehmor, and Randy and Melody McCoy.

Faith Alley, a dele- gate to the conference from the White Springs United Methodist congregation, gave sev- eral of the bags to White Springs Police Chief Joe Subic to distribute at South Hamilton Elementary School.

Photo Submitted, By Jeffrey Burnam "Howdy, Partner!" When you walk around our cam- pus, you'll see an interest- ing array of western items,. since our AR theme this year is "Rounding Up Good Readers"! Western hats, boots, bales of hay, horses, ropes, and a life- size poster of John Wayne are. just a few of the, eye- catching decorations. New faces and familiar faces in different places this year include Mrs. Erica Mc- Coy in third grade, Mrs. Lisa Jarvis in fifth grade, Mrs. Tammy Atkinson in third grade, Mrs. Angela Boatwright. in kinder- garten, Mrs. Donna Dillard in fourth grade, Ms. 'Trixie Newsome in second grade, Mrs. Beth Burnam as read- ing coach, and Mrs. Lee Wetherington-Zamora as guidance counselor / ad- ministrative assistant. Kindergartners have got- ten off to a great start with two big books, "Mary Wore Her Red Dress" and "The Wheels on the Bus." They j7 are busy learning letters, numbers, colors, shapes, and names. Mrs. Driggers' second graders did an author study of Norman Bridwell, who wrote the Clifford books. They watched a video about Mr. Bridwell, read Clifford books, drew Clifford pictures, and wrote about this in their journals.. They learned some interesting facts, in- cluding that the only rea- son Clifford is red is be- cause that was the color of paint on Mr. Bridwell's desk when it came time to color him, that the name "Clifford" came from his wife's imaginary childhood friend, and that Emily Eliz- abeth (Clifford's owner) is his daughter's name. At North Hamilton Elemen- tary, hands-on activities like this are one way "we are changing lives through quality education."
