Georgia Month of History and Character
On March 27th, 2012, Georgia became
the first state in the United States to recognize and
dedicate an entire month to history and character.Two
teachers and two students from Durham Middle School worked
together to create a month long celebration across the state
of Georgiato recognize those who have demonstrated good
character from both the past and the present. The four
authors of the resolution (House Bill 1649) that was signed
into law by Governor Nathan Deal include Durham Middle School
teachers, Thomas Panter (8th Grade Social Studies) and Mandy
Martin (8th Grade Language Arts), as well as their two 8th
Grade students, Ryan Mulkey and Beth Ann Shires. An amazing
collaboration between two teachers and their two students
may help redirect the negative images of poor choices and
bad character that so many people see daily, into a focus on
finding those in Georgia who demonstrate core character
values. Durham hopes to kickoff the month long celebration
of character this September. The Cobb County School Board
will be recognizing the four authors from Durham Middle
School on Thursday, April 26th at 7:00 PM.
