| Wilson Elementary Character Kids (Self-Discipline) |
|
Wilson students are learning about self-discipline during the month of March. We are learning that self-discipline is defined as the ability to control one's own actions. We're also learning a quote from Coach Lou Holtz, who said, "Without self-discipline, success is impossible, period." First and second grade students have chosen representatives from their classrooms who show good self-discipline in their daily routines. During the first two weeks of March, the following students were chosen: |

The Collinsville
GFWC Home Representative Club was honored to have Police Chief Jimmie
Richie as speaker for the March 11, 2014 meeting. Chief Ritchie detailed
current problems within the community, and offered counter-active solutions
to prevent theft and burglaries. Richie also stressed that identity
theft is on the rise, and offered preventative measures - such as checking
your online accounts on a frequent basis.

Members of the Collinsville Patchworkers met at the Library March 11, to share Show and Tell items, and hear a program provided by Vickie Ewing about the history of Civil War quilts, and the hidden meanings created in their patterns - which aided those escaping to the North via the Underground Railroad. Ewing also shared directions to make fabric dish lifters for the microwave, and how to turn a terry cloth towel into fashionable color-coordinated bath mat.
Members also went over details for the Spring Retreat at Tulakogee Conference Center, and it was announced that the next meeting for the Patchworkers will be April 8, 6:30 PM at the Library - guests are always welcome! -- Submitted by Linda Pfeffer -- 3/13/2014 |
