Learning About Government

In September the kids in Mrs. Melton & Mrs. Hanfland's classes were learning about the Government and Mayor Allegood spoke to the classes about the Bill of Rights & Constitution.  It was a  lively question & answer session with the children asking some very interesting and thoughtful questions.  

Mayor Allegood was so impressed, he asked the kids to come and speak to the Board of Aldermen at a City Meeting.   Accompanied by Mrs. Hanfland, Mrs. Curran, the principal of Acworth Intermediate School and Mrs. Bagley, the 4th & 5th Grade Guidance Counselor, a handful of students from the classes got a chance to ask their questions in front of the Mayor, Aldermen and a large group of citizens.

Congratulations to Peter, Jacob, Danielle & Kianna from Mrs. Hanfland's Class and Emma, Jon, Kyle & Kaitlyn from Mrs. Melton's Class.  You all did a great job!  There were some well thought out questions ranging from "What does the Mayor do?" to "What can the city do about the smell from the sewage treatment plant?"
