Dear editor,
Recently on September 25, our junior class writing skills were assessed in the Georgia High School Writing Test, determining whether we receive diplomas. We would like to thank the Dodge County Pre-K students and teachers who took time to send a very uplifting and inspirational message, personal drawings and wonderful snacks. These acts of kindness and encouragement helped to motivate and inspire us to do well and to hopefully be good examples for them.
