Titan Times Newsletter - March 2025

Dear Titan Nation,

As March comes to a close and we head into the final stretch before spring break, I want to take a moment to recognize the incredible hard work and dedication of our students, teachers, and staff. This has been a busy and productive month, filled with academic progress, engaging learning experiences, and exciting events that showcase the Titan spirit. From Read Across America activities and classroom STEM challenges to TCHS students shadowing EMTs and gaining first-hand knowledge about career choices at the College and Career Fair, there's been so much to celebrate.

After spring break, we’ll begin focused preparation for the Georgia Milestone Assessments. Our teachers and students are already laying the groundwork to ensure everyone feels confident and ready for success.

With just a couple of months left in the school year, I encourage everyone to stay focused and finish strong. Spring break will be a well-deserved time to rest and recharge before we tackle the final quarter with energy and determination. Thank you to our families and community for your continued support—we couldn’t do this without you!

Go Titans! 🧡💙

Warm regards,
Christy Wray

Last week, we proudly celebrated School Board Appreciation Week, recognizing the dedication and hard work of our Turner County Board of Education. These individuals play a crucial role in shaping the future of our students, ensuring that policies, resources, and educational opportunities align with the needs of our community. We extend our sincere gratitude to Mr. Cornelius Ball, Mrs. Ann Kendrick, Mrs. Sandra Blue, Mr. Samuel Brown, and Mr. David Mathis for their unwavering commitment to Turner County Schools.

To show appreciation, local businesses generously contributed thoughtful gifts. Farm Bureau provided delicious peanuts, while Carroll’s Sausage put together a gift arrangement featuring a branded cup filled with candies, a brochure, and a coupon. Adding a touch of local flavor, Keith-A-Que gifted each board member their signature "Feather Haters Club" rub to spice up their kitchens. The appreciation continued as Holy Grounds Coffee Shop treated them to a fresh, hearty breakfast. These tokens of gratitude reflect just a small part of the enormous impact our board members have on our schools. Their time, leadership, and dedication ensure that Turner County students receive the best possible education, and we thank them wholeheartedly for their service. If you see one of our board members, be sure to share your appreciation for their hard work and commitment!

Both Turner County Elementary School (TCES) and Turner County Middle High School (TCMHS) recently hosted Scholastic Book Fairs, creating an exciting and engaging atmosphere for students to explore a variety of new books, posters, and fun reading accessories. The book fairs provided a unique opportunity for students to discover fresh reading material that matched their interests, helping to foster a lifelong love of reading. Students eagerly browsed the selections, excited to take home new stories and characters, while also supporting their school libraries through their purchases.

Scholastic Book Fairs are designed to inspire students by focusing on four key factors: access, choice, involvement, and reading practice. When students have access to books that align with their interests and reading levels, they are more likely to engage in independent reading. Giving students the freedom to choose their own books increases motivation and encourages voluntary reading. Additionally, when families actively participate in reading-related activities, children are more likely to develop lifelong reading habits. As students become more excited about reading, they naturally get more practice, improving both their comprehension and literacy skills!

Thanks to the overwhelming participation and support from students, families, and staff, together TCES and TCMHS were able to purchase over 150 new books, adding valuable resources to their school libraries and enriching students’ reading opportunities. These additions to the school libraries will help provide even more opportunities for students to engage with literature and develop their reading skills. By bringing the joy of reading to students and supplying new books to the school libraries, the Scholastic Book Fair was a tremendous success. Turner County Schools look forward to continuing this tradition and providing even more opportunities for students to develop a passion for reading in the years to come!

Turner County High School is proud to announce that sophomore Josephine Conklin has been selected as a semifinalist for the 2025 Georgia Governor’s Honors Program (GHP) in Mathematics—a first for TCHS!

GHP is a prestigious and highly selective summer residential program hosted at Georgia Southern University, designed for top-performing sophomores and juniors in fields such as Math, Science, History, Music, Dance, and Fine Arts. The program provides advanced academic instruction, cultural enrichment, and leadership development opportunities.

Each year, approximately 3,400 students across Georgia are nominated, but only half advance to the semifinalist round. Less than 1% of high school sophomores and juniors statewide achieve this distinction, making Josephine’s accomplishment even more remarkable.

As a semifinalist in Mathematics, Josephine has demonstrated exceptional problem-solving skills, academic excellence, and a passion for learning beyond the classroom. Her dedication has not only brought recognition to herself but has also set a new milestone for TCHS.

Finalist selections will be announced on March 21st, and we are hopeful that Josephine will continue to advance. Please join us in celebrating her outstanding achievement and wishing her success in the next stage of this prestigious program!

Turner County High School’s Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education (CTAE) students recently had the opportunity to shadow Turner County Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs), gaining firsthand experience in the fast-paced world of emergency response. As part of the school’s effort to connect students with real-world careers, the shadowing program allowed participants to observe EMTs in action, learning about patient care, emergency procedures, and the importance of quick decision-making in life-saving situations.

Through this experience, students interested in healthcare and emergency services were able to ask questions, witness emergency protocols, and develop a deeper appreciation for the dedication required in the field. The program not only provided valuable career insight but also reinforced the importance of community service. Turner County High’s CTAE program continues to offer students practical learning experiences that prepare them for future careers, ensuring they are ready for the workforce or further education after graduation.

Turner County Elementary School recently celebrated Dr. Seuss Week and Read Across America, a week dedicated to encouraging a love of reading among students. Throughout the week, students explored the magic of Dr. Seuss's stories, learning about the significant impact his books have had on children's literature and literacy. Activities centered around themes from Dr. Seuss's beloved stories, including fun reading sessions, interactive crafts, and games that brought his whimsical world to life. Teachers used these activities to inspire students to read more and develop a passion for books.

The excitement was heightened by students dressing up as their favorite Dr. Seuss characters, from the Cat in the Hat to the Lorax, making the week even more memorable. In addition to the costumes, students participated in various themed days, such as "Wacky Wednesday" and "Green Eggs and Ham Day," to spark their creativity and enthusiasm. These events not only celebrated Dr. Seuss's work but also encouraged students to see reading as a fun and exciting adventure. By the end of the week, TCES had successfully fostered a greater appreciation for reading, creating lasting memories and inspiring students to continue exploring the world of books.

March is Gifted Education Month, a time to celebrate the creativity, critical thinking, and innovation of gifted students across our district. These students engage in hands-on, high-level learning experiences that challenge them to think beyond the classroom. From STEM explorations and forensic science investigations to robotics, creative writing, and entrepreneurship, gifted learners are developing the skills that will shape them into future leaders and problem-solvers.

At Turner Elementary School, one recent example comes from Mrs. Mathis's 5th Grade GATE class, where students explored forensic science by learning how fingerprints are used as evidence. Chief Ben McCurdy visited the class to help students collect and analyze their own fingerprints, identifying whirls, loops, and arches as part of their investigation. He also guided them through a real-world problem-solving activity, matching smudged and partial prints to clearer samples—an immersive experience that brought science to life.

At Turner County Middle School, Mrs. Purvis's gifted students are tackling challenging, cross-curricular projects that integrate math, science, social studies, and ELA. The 6th graders are exploring European economic and environmental issues, comparing how location, natural resources, government systems, and industries influence development. While the 7th and 8th graders are analyzing the impact of cotton production from different perspectives—with 7th graders focusing on clothing manufacturing in Southern and Eastern Asia and its effects on the economy and environment, while 8th graders examine the historic and modern influence of the cotton industry in Georgia, particularly in agriculture, government, and economic growth.

These hands-on projects encourage students to think critically, conduct in-depth research, and apply learning to real-world contexts. As we celebrate Gifted Education Month, we applaud our gifted students and teachers for their dedication to curiosity, exploration, and innovation!

Recently, a group of juniors and seniors from Turner County High School had the opportunity to visit the Roosevelt Institute at Warm Springs for an in-depth look at post-secondary training programs. Led by Ms. Mandi Cole, the students toured the facility and explored a variety of certified career programs designed to prepare them for the workforce.

During their visit, students engaged with instructors and current trainees, gaining first hand insight into several of the pathways available in high-demand fields such as Hospitality, Auto Detailing, Logistics/Warehousing, Light Electrical/Carpentry, and Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). They explored the skills and certifications needed for success in these careers and discovered various funding options beyond traditional scholarships and grants. The experience emphasized the importance of partnering with agencies to help cover the costs of training programs, making career preparation more accessible. This hands-on learning opportunity provided students with a clearer understanding of the pathways available to them after high school and the essential skills required to thrive in today’s workforce.

Turner County Middle School’s 6th and 7th grade Christian Learning students recently took a hands-on approach to community service by visiting the Community Clothes Closet, a ministry of the Christian Union Church of God Community Outreach. Their visit provided an opportunity to learn about the importance of giving back and supporting those in need. Students saw firsthand how the outreach program serves the community and participated in service activities, reinforcing key values of compassion, generosity, and faith in action. The experience allowed them to reflect on the impact that even small acts of kindness can have on others.

As a special part of the visit, students were invited to shop and take home an item of their choice, adding a personal connection to their time there. Snacks were provided, making the day even more enjoyable. Many students left inspired to find new ways to give back in their own communities. A heartfelt thank you to Pat Taylor, Paula McQuaig, Christi Askea, and Anitha Shaner for hosting and guiding our students through this meaningful learning experience!

The Community Clothes Closet is located at 325 Gilmore St. and is open to serve those in need on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm.

Turner County High School is committed to preparing students for success beyond the classroom. As part of this commitment, last week, the school offered dedicated PSAT practice sessions and free PSAT testing opportunities for all 10th grade students. These sessions are designed to help students become familiar with the structure and content of the PSAT, while building confidence and sharpening test-taking strategies.

The PSAT offers valuable benefits for high school students. It serves as an early indicator of college readiness, highlights areas for academic growth, and provides excellent practice for the SAT. In addition, strong PSAT performance can open the door to future scholarship opportunities and personalized study resources through College Board. Turner County High is proud to support students as they prepare for the next steps in their academic journey.

Please note: The photos shown are practice sessions and not from a secure testing environment.

Recently, students in Mrs. Perry's class took their learning beyond the classroom with an exciting visit to South Georgia Banking Company. Bank Manager, Brad Christian, welcomed the students with a guided tour and an engaging lesson on banking services, including the importance of saving money and how loans work. The experience provided valuable insights into financial literacy in a real-world setting.

After the bank visit, students headed to the local McDonald's, where they had the opportunity to apply their knowledge by ordering and paying for their meals using money they had saved. The trip was both educational and rewarding, thanks to the warm hospitality and support of the staff at both locations. Students walked away with a better understanding of money management—and full stomachs! Experiences like this help students connect classroom learning to everyday life and build confidence in making smart financial decisions. Students were excited to share what they learned with their families at home!

Turner County Elementary School recently hosted a Growing Readers Learning Walk, an initiative organized by Growing Readers Specialist Stephanie Butler to provide educators with an opportunity to observe and learn from effective literacy instruction in action. This collaborative experience brought together Coastal Plains RESA Literacy Coach Dr. Jessie Russell, Superintendent Christy Wray, Assistant Superintendent Bernard Joiner, Principal Laberton Sims, Academic Coach Michelle Taylor, and Teacher Support Specialist Darcy Rainey to explore and celebrate the impactful reading practices happening in classrooms. The goal of the Learning Walk was to deepen understanding of high-quality literacy instruction while recognizing the engagement and progress of students as they develop essential reading skills.

During the Learning Walk, the team observed research-based reading strategies in action, such as activating prior knowledge to enhance comprehension, individual reading conferences to provide personalized support, and encouraging students to cite evidence in small group discussions to strengthen critical thinking and textual analysis. They also saw how teachers encourage students to apply the strategies they’ve learned, helping them independently navigate and analyze various texts. Following the walkthrough, the group gathered to reflect, debrief, and discuss ways to further strengthen literacy instruction across all classrooms. A special thank you to Mrs. Michelle Taylor for her invaluable support in facilitating this Learning Walk and for her dedication to the Growing Readers work at TCES!

The efforts at Turner County Elementary School demonstrate a strong commitment to growing the knowledge, skills, and confidence of reading teachers. These intentional initiatives are making a meaningful difference in strengthening literacy instruction and ensuring every student becomes a confident, capable reader.

Turner County Schools recently hosted iReady training sessions to help teachers utilize student data more effectively for instructional planning. iReady representatives Heidi Downs and Jessica Edwards led professional development at Turner County Elementary School and Turner County Middle School, respectively. The training focused on using iReady data to predict student performance on the Georgia Milestones Assessment, reteaching content based on specific needs, and analyzing student data reports to drive targeted instruction.

At TCES, Heidi Downs worked with K-5 teachers, providing support resources and strategies to help close academic gaps. Meanwhile, at TCMS, Jessica Edwards guided teachers through interpreting data reports to adjust instruction and better meet student needs in English Language Arts. As a diagnostic tool and universal screener, iReady plays a crucial role in Turner County Schools’ efforts to personalize learning. With these new insights and strategies, teachers are better equipped to provide data-driven instruction that enhances student success.

Teachers at TCHS recently participated in peer observations focused on improving questioning techniques to promote deeper student thinking. Research has consistently shown that effective questioning strategies significantly impact student achievement, with John Hattie’s meta-analysis highlighting questioning as a key instructional influence with an effect size of 0.48—indicating a meaningful impact on learning. Understanding the importance of scaffolding questions at various cognitive levels, teachers observed their colleagues, recording every question posed by both the teacher and the students. The following day, this data was analyzed by the teacher of record, who categorized the questions using Depth of Knowledge (DOK) levels 1, 2, and 3. Additionally, student-generated questions were examined for common themes, providing insights into their level of engagement and critical thinking.

This reflective process allowed teachers to assess their questioning practices and identify areas for growth. By deliberately planning for higher-order questioning, they aimed to shift instruction toward increased rigor and deeper student discourse. Research suggests that when students are exposed to more complex questions, they develop stronger analytical and problem-solving skills, leading to higher achievement. Through this collaborative effort, TCHS teachers are enhancing their instructional effectiveness and fostering a more inquiry-driven classroom culture that challenges students to think beyond surface-level responses.

The Future Farmers of America (FFA) at Turner County Middle School recently showed their gratitude by providing a special breakfast to celebrate and thank teachers for their hard work and dedication. FFA students took the lead in setting up, serving, and ensuring that the event was a meaningful gesture of appreciation for the educators who make a difference every day.

This event, led by FFA advisor and agriculture teacher Brook Hand, highlighted the spirit of service and leadership that FFA instills in its members. The breakfast not only gave students an opportunity to express their appreciation but also reinforced the importance of giving back to their school community. A big thank you to the TCMS FFA for their thoughtfulness and support of our teachers!

During National School Social Work Week, we celebrated the importance of our School Social Worker, Shylynski Smith, LCSW, and the invaluable support she provides to our students, families, and staff. As a way to give back, Mrs. Smith partnered with our School-Based Mental Health Therapist, Tosha Turner, to promote self-care through a Self-Care Basket Giveaway—and the response was amazing, with 90 participants entering!

🎉A huge congratulations to Suzi Mathis, our lucky winner!🎉

Mrs. Mathis will be enjoying a special self-care package, including a 30-minute therapeutic massage from Kandis York, a mani-pedi gift certificate from K-C Nails, essential oils and body care from Bath & Body Works, multiple gift cards from Streetcar Espresso, and other relaxing goodies.

Thank you to everyone who participated, and remember—taking care of yourself is just as important as taking care of others! Let’s continue to support and uplift one another!

Amber Stevens from Coastal Plains RESA delivered an engaging and insightful session on co-teaching models to all Turner County Middle School teachers and staff. The session explored effective collaboration between general and special education teachers through six commonly recognized co-teaching models: One Teach, One Observe; One Teach, One Assist; Station Teaching; Parallel Teaching; Alternative Teaching; and Team Teaching. These models allow educators to divide responsibilities, assess student needs, and deliver instruction in ways that enhance engagement and differentiation. For example, Parallel Teaching increases student participation, while Alternative Teaching provides targeted remediation or enrichment.

The session highlighted the benefits of co-teaching, such as small-group learning, individualized support, and increased student interaction. Teachers were encouraged to use formative assessments to guide instruction and tailor lessons to diverse learning needs. Mrs. Stevens emphasized that co-teaching fosters a dynamic and responsive classroom environment, ultimately leading to higher student achievement. The strategies presented will help Turner County educators implement more inclusive and effective instructional practices in their classrooms.

Turner County High School is proud to announce that two educators have been selected to serve as judges for major career and technical student organization competitions.

His expertise in media and production will help evaluate students’ technical skills and creativity in various competition categories.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Permella Blanks, the Family and Consumer Sciences teacher, has been chosen to judge an FCCLA (Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America) competition. Drawing from the Teaching as a Profession standards, she evaluated student entries in the Digital Storytelling category, a competition designed to prepare participants for the upcoming FCCLA State Leadership Conference. With her knowledge of family and consumer sciences, she assessed students’ projects, leadership skills, and career readiness.

The selection of Mr. Jordan and Mrs. Blanks as judges highlights the excellence of Turner County High’s educators and their commitment to student success beyond the classroom.

Excitement filled the halls at Turner County High School on Thursday, March 27, as students participated in the school’s largest College and Career Fair to date. With more than 70 vendors in attendance, the event provided students in grades 9–12 a unique opportunity to explore colleges, career paths, and local industry connections. During their scheduled time slots, students eagerly visited booths that aligned with their interests, making the most of the chance to chart their future.

Representatives from universities such as Valdosta State, Fort Valley State, and Georgia Southwestern shared information on admissions, financial aid, and campus life, while technical colleges like Southern Regional and South Georgia Tech brought program instructors to speak directly with students about hands-on careers in fields such as welding, EMT, cosmetology, and more.

“The students were beyond excited!” shared the event host. “Students truly enjoyed talking with and learning from all of the professionals—it was such a powerful experience!” With strong community support and the highest number of participants in the event’s history, this year’s College and Career Fair was a tremendous success, leaving students feeling inspired and better prepared to take the next steps toward their future!

Konnor Downs, a Turner County High School graduate and current Information Technology major at Georgia Southern University, is no stranger to the fast-paced world of school-based technology. Thanks to his time as a Work-Based Learning (WBL) intern with the Turner County Schools Technology Department, Konnor discovered a passion for IT that has since turned into a clear career path.

During his senior year of high school, Konnor participated in the WBL program, where he worked closely with the district’s Technology Director and IT Specialist. “That experience changed everything for me,” he said. “I wasn’t just observing—I was actively helping fix devices, troubleshoot tech issues, and support both students and teachers.” As an intern, Konnor quickly became immersed in the behind-the-scenes work that keeps a school district’s technology running. From repairing Chromebooks and resetting passwords to helping manage hardware and learning about network infrastructure, he gained hands-on experience in real-world settings. “It gave me an inside look at the challenges and demands of keeping a school system’s tech working. It’s way more complex than I realized, and it made me want to learn even more.”

That drive to learn led Konnor to choose Information Technology as his college major—and his experience as an intern gave him a head start. “What I learned during WBL gave me the foundation I needed for my college classes,” he explained. “A lot of the concepts I’m studying now—networking, device management, troubleshooting—I’ve already seen in action.” Now, while attending Georgia Southern, Konnor continues to work with the Turner County Schools Technology Department part-time. He’s no longer just an intern—he’s an integral part of the team. “I get to keep applying what I’m learning in school while still helping out in the district that gave me my start. It’s the best of both worlds.”

Konnor credits the WBL program not only for his technical growth but also for helping him gain confidence and clarity about his future. “That opportunity helped me realize that IT isn’t just something I’m good at—it’s what I want to do long-term. And it feels good to be able to give back to the same school system that supported me.” His journey from student intern to IT team member is a powerful example of how real-world learning and mentorship can spark lasting career goals. Konnor’s story is a reminder of the impact programs like WBL can have—not just on students’ skills, but on their futures.
