Metter Middle Boys are Region Runnerup in Tennis!


We are looking forward to seeing everyone on Friday night for the first round of playoffs against Swainsboro. Park in the Boosters area if you have a Boosters Parking Pass, Purchase your tickets at the gate (cash only at the Booster gate--all Go Fan tickets must go to the front Ticket Gate) because no booster passes are accepted during playoffs, stop by and support the concessions stands and bring your food to the pavilion to eat with the rest of the Boosters.
See you Friday!!

MMS Boys Tennis won against South Tattnall 4-1 at the Semi Finals today! They play Screven County in Sylvania tomorrow for the Championship!

It's National Parents as Teachers Day! Research shows that greater parent involvement is a critical link in a child’s development of learning skills, including reading and writing. Take some time to teach your child(ren) something new today. Have a conversation with them about how school went today (don't let them just tell you "fine")...ask them specific questions about their classes...they will be excited to tell you all about it! We call this SWIRL (Speaking, Writing, Illustrating, Reading and Listening) and families can be engaged in SWIRL just as much as the children are at school, just by talking, listening and even playing games with your child(ren). Give it a try today.

Dr. Bubba Longgrear, Candler County School District Superintendent, has been recognized as one of four 2024 Superintendent of the Year Finalists for the state of Georgia by the Georgia School Superintendents Association (GSSA)!
"It is an honor to be recognized as a finalist," says Dr. Longgrear. "This is truly a recognition for the good work of our school system and community."
Nominations were received from August 2, 2023, to September 1, 2023. Nominations were made by boards of education, colleagues, community members, and businesses, from all over our state.
There were 24 candidates nominated and four were selected as state finalists to represent the superintendent’s profession in Georgia. These four finalists will now move to the next phase of completing an application to enter the national competition, where one of the four will be selected to represent the state of Georgia against the other 49 states and Canada.
"This is a tremendous honor to be amongst the very best professionals who answer the call to serve in the K-12 Public School Superintendency...a most challenging and honorable career," says Dr. John Zauner, Executive Director of GSSA.
