HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
 

Happy Holidays from IN FOCUS!  Winter break is almost here, which means first semester exams are only a few days away.  The exams will take place December 18-21.  Don't forget, December 21 is a half day and classes will resume January 7.   

In the meantime, it's never too soon for students to begin thinking about their future.  That's why Williamson County Schools participated in the sixth annual World of Possibilities <Career Fair>.  More than 2,500 students attended the event November 29 at the Williamson County Ag Expo Center.

While most of us would like to spend our golden years relaxing on a beach, some Williamson County senior citizens would rather spend it in the classroom.  That's because they are helping children learn to read.  It's part of a program called <FLIP>, which matches senior citizens with children in kindergarten through fourth grades.

Also this week, see which schools have held <toy, clothing, or food drives> for local families and organizations in need; Williamson County Schools is teaming with a local college to help students who might be interested in a <medical career>; and students at Fairview High School finish building a <race car>.

Be sure and check out all of the upcoming holiday performances and musicals in our MUSIC/THEATER section, and we have lots of new photos to check out in this week's PHOTO GALLERY.  We also honor four new teachers with the WC-TV TEACHER FEATURE award.

Please pass along the word to SIGN UP for IN FOCUS to stay informed about what's going on inside Williamson County Schools.  As always, feel free to EMAIL US with any questions or comments.  The next IN FOCUS will be out January 10.
