Congratulations Kim Lamphere!
Tritt's Teacher of the Year
2012-2013

Dr. Frost and Mrs. Lamphere
Mrs. Lamphere has been
teaching at Tritt for 8 years and Cobb County for 15
years as a 3rd and 4th grade teacher. She also
taught in Texas and Florida for a combined teaching
career of 21 years, a career she chose as a small
child watching her mom teach 1st grade. She has
been happily married for 27 years to Scott and has
two beautiful daughters,
Lindsay (a counselor in Nashville, TN) and Madison
(a junior at the University of Georgia). In her
spare time, she loves to read, walk, cheer for the
Georgia Bulldogs, shop for antiques, and spend time
in Blue Ridge, Georgia. She is a fantastic party
planner, sharing her talents at Tritt and with
family and friends. Outside of school, she is very
involved in Johnson Ferry Women's Ministry, Delta
Kappa Gamma, and Relay For Life. Mrs. Lamphere was
quoted as saying, "Teaching is truly my passion.
What other profession allows you to see children
grow and make extraordinary strides over such a
short period of time?" We are so blessed to have
her as part of our Tritt Staff and Community.
Congrats Kim!!
Cobb Foundation's Tritt
Volunteer of The Year- Paula Hunt

 
When looking for someone to nominate for
Volunteer of the Year, the 5th grade team at
Tritt had to look no further than Paula Hunt.
She has a fifth grade son, so invariably
volunteers in his teacher's classroom making
copies, organizing, cutting and sorting, but she
does so much more. This year alone Paula has
organized Immigration Day which
comprises many parent volunteers and a days
worth of activities for all fifth graders, she
has also helped with 5th grade activities, front
desk parent volunteer, Tiger Publishing,
copying, Media Center and numerous other jobs
that teachers have little time to do. Not only
does she assist in 5th grade, she has a 3rd
grade son as well and spends time helping his
techer, all the
while never breaking a sweat or complaining.
Her tireless effort, usually 20-30 hours a week,
is always appreciated by this team and Tritt
Elementary. We are excited that she was chosen
Cobb Schools Foundation's Tritt
Elementary Volunteer of Year so that she will
know how much we love and admire her for her
selflessness. Paula will attend the Awards
Luncheon on Friday, May 4 at the Atlanta
Marriott Northwest at Galleria.
Tritt Reflections Contest
Winner Receives Award of Merit at National Level
Watch the video:
5th grader Cullen Hunt submitted a film for
PTA Reflections 2012. This year's theme was
"Diversity Means." A section in Cullen's film
includes classmates representing countries around
the world. These classmates are Tritt students who
were either born in the country they represent in
the film or are first generation American. Cullen's
film has won 1st place for Intermediate Division at
school, county, and state level. The film was
recently selected as 1 of 4 films in Georgia to
advance to National PTA Reflections for further
judging where he received the Award of Merit.
Way to go Cullen!
