Gold Radish Awards - Silver Level For nutrition departments across the state, farm-to-school efforts have become a key focus. To honor those efforts, the State Departments of Agriculture, Public Health, Education and Georgia Organics, as well as the Department of Early Care and Learning and the Georgia Cooperative Extension, have come together to recognize districts with Golden Radish awards. The Bibb County School District’s Nutrition Department was recently honored with a silver level Golden Radish for initiatives throughout the school year in the District. Retired Educators Month Resolution The members of the Bibb Retired Educators Association represent a valuable asset to Bibb County. Not only are they formerly classroom educators, but their continued commitment to volunteer efforts in schools is crucial to the District’s “Victory in Progress.” As such, the Bibb County School District and Board of Education recognized the forthcoming Retired Educators Day on Sunday, November 3, 2019, in Bibb County and Retired Educators Month in Georgia. State School Superintendent Advisory Council State School Superintendent Richard Woods selects students from across the state each year to serve on his Student Advisory Council. The members of this group serve as a liaison between their schools and state-level administrators, and they can help shape policy decisions. This year, the District had two students chosen for this honor – Helen Chang and Connor Martin, both seventh-graders at Howard Middle School. Diploma Presentation for War Veterans State law allows the District to present high school diplomas to veterans of the United States Armed Forces whose education was interrupted by service in the Korean or Vietnam conflicts. As such, Mr. Larry Salter and Dr. Zeddie Scott were awarded their diplomas. Mr. Salter attended Lanier Senior High School before being called into service in the U.S. Air Force from 1963 to 1967. Dr. Scott, who also attended Lanier, served in the Marines from 1967 to 1973.No recorded vote.
