The Blairsville Kiwanis Club visited today to give certificates to our 4th grade students to recognize their efforts to improve their academic grades.  The program called "BUGS" is an acronym for Bring Up Grades.  The club visits 4 times per year, once to introduce the program, and 3 times to recognize students when the new 9 week grades are reported. Visiting from Kiwanis today were Kathie McMillan, Jim Colwell, Jeff Hunt, Sonny Mahan, & Barbara Williams.  Kiwanis contacted our local Walmart who cooperated with the club to help provide an iPod Touch to one lucky winner drawn from the fourth grade classes.  Our winner for this year was Makenzie Baldwin.
