Your Fair Share?

Local Fair Share: The state’s education funding formula requires school systems to leave a portion of earned education funding with the state to be distributed to more needy districts. In FY 2006, Cobb’s “Local Fair Share” contribution was $111.4 million. In FY 2007, that contribution is expected to be $119.8 million, an increase of $8.4 million.

To The Departing Eighth Grade Orchestra

goodbye_title_small.jpg


First of all, thank you very much for the picture and generous gift. I haven't used it yet because I've been looking for something that will remind me of your class.

You have the awesome honor of making history for the Mabry Orchestra. Our performance at the GMEA Conference was a first for Mabry and the plaque we received will always represent your hard work and dedication.

You helped make this a great three years for me and I have enjoyed working with you. I’m proud of what we accomplished and I know that I grew along with you.

Each class I teach holds a different memory for me and your group is special for its friendly personality and work ethic. While it may not have been ‘cool’ for you to show it, when all is said and done I think you were proud of what we became and accomplished.

If I were a doctor I’m pretty sure it would be said that I don’t have a very good ‘bedside manner’, and, like you’ve heard me say, I’m ok with that! Let’s look at it this way, every kick in the rear was a shove in the right direction.

I hope you have a wonderful high school experience. Please keep in touch. You know where to find me!
