This week I had the chance to accompany Gov. Perdue on her visit to Sparta Elementary School in Alleghany County. Superintendent Cox, Principal Barnes, the students, teachers and community leaders gave us a warm welcome. The governor had the chance to talk to teachers about how technology is making a difference in their classrooms and about diagnostic testing.
As part of the President Obama’s “United We Serve” campaign for public service and volunteerism the governor spokes with students about the responsibility of giving back to their communities and she read the book “I’m Gonna Like Me: Letting Off A Little Self-Esteem” by actress Jaime Lee Curtis to first graders at the school.
