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.
