We also honor Ms. Val Bevins, paraprofessional who keeps the In-school suspension room running! We couldn't do it without her! And Mrs. Renette Walker, a one-on-one paraprofessional! Great job ladies!
This student got pinched for honoring the Pledge of Allegiance as she was crossing the street coming to school! Getting pinched means someone did something special or extraordinary!
And we can't forget our very loyal substitute teachers! Mrs. Pearl McCready, Mrs. Virginia Corbin and Mrs. Betty Horsey!
For “Ms. Pearl,” a substitute teacher, Black History Month is a time to reflect on all African Americans who struggle to say we are equal and have been in the past, on now on the present, and will continue to be in the future productive citizens in America. She said “the noun “love” is very meaningful for me. The verb is more important to me. A lot of people can say it but few people actually do it.”
Mrs. Virginia Corbin said this about Black History Month - it means to me that we can learn how our African Americans suffered and struggled as slaves. African Americans fought for our civil rights so that we could have equal opportunities. I retired in 2021 as a paraprofessional with 39 years of working.
For the last day of Black History Month we recognize Ms. Monica Jones, ALC Paraprofessional. Black History Month is very empowering to me. It is a chance to celebrate diversity, promote equality, and encourage understanding. A time to honor the achievements and contributions of African Americans throughout history.
I am currently studying to become a teacher. A quote I reflect on often is " If you fall behind, run faster. Never give up, never surrender and rise up against all odds." - Rev. Jesse Jackson
Mrs. GG Brumley is one of our hardworking custodians! Black History Month means a lot even though she was raised in the Dominican Republic. She learned about Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks when she was young. She comes from a culture that loves everyone and their cultures.
We also honor Mr. Chuck Parker, custodian!

Today we honor Ms. Janice Primm
Learning Support Assistant and is a part of the LST team. Learning Support Assistant is her title. Black History to Ms. Primm means “it's a time where those that have done or made great contributions to the African American race can be celebrated and recognized for their achievements. We shouldn't have to wait until they are dead to "Give them their flowers.” She is #9 out of 10 children and a born and raised Alabama girl - Forever ROLL TIDE- She is also a mother of 1 son and 2 daughters- Ms. Primms’ family is either in Education, Military or the Pulpit. She has one son and two daughters.
And we honor Mrs. Cathy Jackson, Paraprofessional. She’s also an attendant at a funeral home, a notary, cleaning business owner, insurance agent, and many more. You may ask, why does she have so many jobs? The answer is simple: Because someone in the community may need her, as she believes that you should never depend on knowing how to do just one thing. This is why Black History Month means so much to her. To Mrs. Jackson, Black History Month means the doors and opportunities that have been made available to her through her heritage. Every day, these positions serve as a reminder that she is able to celebrate her heritage daily.
