The entire group has taken a look at the work for the first semester, in all areas. "Inservice theme for the year is: "How Can We Improve The Teaching of Arithmetic and Science in Grades 1-4.". The consultants were: Mrs. I. Fields, Jones Supervisor; Mrs. J. Askew, Elementary Supervisor; Mrs. Geneva Mitchell, 5th Grade teacher of Cloverdale Elementary School: Mrs. L. Parker Elementary Supervisor, Miss B. Darby, Music Supervisor.
The upper grades have been working on: "Exploring With Friends Far and Near."
