ISSUE 11
January 24, 2008
IN THIS ISSUE...
Experience
the thrill of the Winter Olympics and learn why an educator
from Finland is spending time in Williamson County.
Those are two of the stories you'll find in this edition of
IN FOCUS. In the first video, we'll take you to
Scales Elementary School for their annual
WINTER OLYMPIC
GAMES. Watch as the students compete in events
like the two-man bobsled, hockey and speed skating.
The second video is all about an
EDUCATOR FROM FINLAND
who's hoping to learn more about the WCS educational system.
Some of the
other stories you'll find in this edition of IN FOCUS
include details on how WCS is hoping to educate children
about the DANGERS OF SMOKING,
and why a BEST-SELLING AUTHOR
shared his adventures with students at Heritage Middle
School.
Plus, you'll learn why seven WCS
HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPALS
recently traveled to Florida, and find out when the
show DRAG RACE HIGH will
make its small-screen debut.
This week,
we also honor several teachers and students for their
achievements. Check out the
TEACHER FEATURE section
to find out which educators will be featured on WC-TV.
Also remember to check out the
FUNDRAISER section for a
list of ways to support Williamson County Schools, and don't
forget to look at all the new snapshots in our
PHOTO GALLERY.
We hope you
enjoy this issue of IN FOCUS. Please encourage
folks to SIGN UP if they haven't done so, and feel
free to EMAIL US with
any questions or comments. Be on the lookout for the
next IN FOCUS which will hit your inbox February 7. |
