Those extra cents will go directly to Shae the Fair, helping more students bring home books they'll love.
Students will have an option of a reading g bookmark, reading sticker, or blow pop for rounding up the nearest dollar.

All our littles got to experience life on a farm as they traveled around the school grounds visiting Georgia agricultural animals, thanks to our amazing local community partners who brought their own animals and equipment to our campus for us all to enjoy!
A big thank you to:
Kevin and baby Blakeley from K&T Farms
The Bagwell family
Pettit Creek Farms
The Joslin family
Georgia Farm Bureau
Bartow County Master Gardeners
Learning about agriculture and animals is important for our elementary students because it helps them understand where their food comes from, the hard work of local farmers, and the role agriculture plays in Georgia’s economy and community. It connects classroom learning to real-world experiences and inspires appreciation for the people who help feed us every day.
We enjoyed having a special guest, Sharon Viktora, BCSS Board Member, who visited our AG Mobile and Animal Encounter.
We appreciate everyone who made this such a memorable learning experience for our students!
This 36-foot mobile classroom showcases Georgia agriculture on the road, visiting elementary schools and community organizations across the state. Inside, students explored seven different Georgia agricultural commodities through technology and digital learning.
The Georgia Ag Experience is a STEM-based program that invites students across Georgia to discover the vast opportunities in agriculture. It connects science, technology, and real-world farming in a way that brings learning to life for our students and helps them think about possible future careers in the agricultural field, from farming and animal science to technology and engineering.
A special shoutout to Gaines Beef for joining us with the Ag Mobile. They also partner with our School Nutrition team to provide fresh beef to our schools, and we are so grateful for their support.
We haven’t reached our fundraising goal yet, so we’re extending the deadline to next Monday, Sept. 22nd.
Funds raised support all students at White Elementary with extras like rewards, special programs, and classroom resources not covered by the school budget.

Every order makes a difference—and it only takes a few minutes to get started!
Thank you for supporting our school and students!

This past Tuesday, our students enjoyed School Drum Day! Mr. Steve at Dancing Drum led our students through rhythms and songs about fairness, responsibility, teamwork, and caring for others. It was truly a "drum"-atic event with fun had by all!
