This week was teacher appreciation week. As the week comes to a close, Chief Sanford, the officers and staff of the Sardis Police Department provided a small, quick breakfast for the teachers, paraprofessionals, and staff of SGA Elementary School in an effort to say thank you and show our appreciation to those who are tasked with educating our young citizens and future leaders.

We see you and appreciate all of you for your efforts and dedication to the youth of our community!

We also want to take a moment to say thank you to the staff of McDonalds (Waynesboro, GA) who came in early and prepared almost 100 biscuits and to Pineland Bakery who provided the coffee and other goodies! We appreciate your partnerships and say thank you many times over!

Finally we want to take a moment to acknowledge Principle Brantley for allowing us the space and opportunity to say thank you to the teachers, paraprofessionals and staff!
