Haywood Junior High’s Beta Club officers had a unique experience on January 18. Eighth-grade students David Johnson, Sara Rodriguez, Kyle Sills, Mireya Pulido and Nathan Yoder, met at Brownsville’s radio station to record a very special public service announcement.

For the week of January 23-29, communities across the state are recognizing the works of boards of education during School Board Appreciation Week. This outstanding group of young people represented HJH by recording their own personal messages of appreciation to Haywood County School Board Members: Mr. Harold Garrett, chairman; Mrs. Robbie Jarrett King; Mrs. Pearlie Hess; Mr. Allen Currie; and Mr. Daniel Thornton.

Thank you, board members, for continuing to strive to make a difference in the lives of students in Haywood County.
