Volunteers recognized at School Board meeting

A long list of volunteers was recognized during the superintendent’s portion of the agenda at the June 2, 2011, Franklin County school board meeting.

Superintendent Nina Marks acknowledged 52 members of the Franklin County community for their contributions and support toward the students of Franklin County.

Each volunteer was given a hand shaped pin and a certificate of appreciation for giving of their time to either enhancing the quality of education for Franklin County students or improving the functionality of the school district.

Apalachicola Mayor Van Johnson was among those recognized.   

Johnson’s name was submitted for consideration by Franklin County High School teacher Elinor Mount-Simmons after the Mayor spoke earlier this year to her academic recovery class.
