South Putnam students participated in the PIE breakfast this morning! PIE (Prevention Intervention Education) is a county-wide organization focused on positive health choices related to avoiding alcohol and illegal drug use.

It's a great day to learn at South Putnam High School. Ms. Eaglin's students were working on demonstration projects. Mrs. Bye's students were graphing lines. Ms. Hudson's students learned about Spanish names. Lastly, Mrs. Dickson helped students in her pre-calculus class. Great things are happening all over our building.

Mrs. Kendall was working with 6th grade students today in the pool as part of the new swim unit for 6th and 7th grade PE students. We are excited about this new experience at South Putnam!

Thank you to Karen and Anthony Heavin for donating $500 to the South Putnam Quarterback Club in recognition of the support South Putnam families gave their children and school community during the county football jamboree by walking through the HIPS (Hidden in Plain Sight) trailer. Karen and Anthony yearly give their time and money to support many amazing opportunities for students at South Putnam and around the county.

Thank you to the PIE Coalition advocates Karen Heavin and Tom Sutherlin with Coordinator Linda Merkel who presented a $500 check to our South Putnam Athletic Department. The check acknowledged the winning number of adults who toured the HIPS trailer during the county football jamboree to learn about how students hide devices and substances in plain sight. Mr. Burgess plans to use the money to continue to support positive student leadership in athletics. South Putnam student PIE representatives Lilah Holderfield and Drew Gardner along with Landon Chew (not pictured) promote drug awareness and prevention in coordination with other students in the county.
