Friendly Reminder from the School Nurse 🩺
If a student is sent home due to illness, they must remain home for at least 24 hours before returning to school.

This helps protect the health of all students and staff. Thank you for your cooperation!

The SHS Ag Science I class hosted Dr. Bonita Butner on Friday, who spoke about the Dalton Vocational School. Her late mother, Ida was a student at the school alongside others in the Slater and Gilliam area.

Dalton VS was one of 4 schools in the state to once have a New Farmers of America Chapter (their charter photo pictured). NFA was established in 1935 for African American youth to promote agricultural leadership and citizenship, merging with FFA in 1965.

A big thank you goes out to Ms. Butner for her annual visit during the FFA History unit - it is a program favorite!
