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.
