Volume 2, Issue 8

The Fine Arts department at Haywood High School has put together another great play for the citizens of Brownsville and Haywood County. These kids always do an outstanding job. It is amazing how much talent we have here. Hollywood should check us out. The title of this year’s play is “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.” It’s a musical comedy and is directed by Allyson Byrum. Michelle Tillman is assisting Byrum, as are many of the parents, students and high school staff. Make plans to be at College Hill and the Ann Marks theater next Friday or Saturday night for the performance. The curtain rises at 7:30 p.m.

And speaking of excellence in the schools, congratulations to Mary Davis, Ida Coleman and Patricia Gaietto. Their fellow educators have honored these three ladies with the title “Teachers of the Year.” You can learn more about what’s going on in our schools by visiting www.haywoodschools.com.
