DEBRA ROBERTSON
GETS FINANCIAL GRADUATE CERTIFICATE
Debra Robertson is the first graduate from Jefferson County
to receive her graduate certificate from the Alabama Association of School
Business Officials (AASBO).
She was one of 32 graduates from 30 different systems in Alabama to receive
this certification. Today, there are 100 finance officers in Alabama
with this certification.
It is a two- to three- year commitment because courses are given three times
a year only at one location, Tuscaloosa.
She took 54 different courses ranging from financial planning, fair labor
standards, school law to contract information.
Diane McDaniel, of Johnson Elementary, was chosen Sam's
Club Irondale teacher of the year. She received $1,000, a dozen roses,
an oversized check, and a personal Sam's vest. There were 3,000 competitors
for the award.
Cheryl Perry Slaughter, of Gardendale Elementary, won
the northern area Wal-Mart teacher of the year. She also won $1,000
for her classroom.

Class Act! BIG, BIG Success
Vic Fichtner, speech and theatre supervisor, says the
11 elementary or middle schools who participated in the pilot art education
project were pleased and excited at its success.
Two experienced theatre students from county high schools were paired with
school each to provide drama for the younger students and a teaching
opportunity for the high schoolers.
Schools involved were Bagley Jr, Cahaba Heights, Clay, Corner, Gresham,
Hewitt-Trussville, Hueytown, Irondale, Leeds, Minor High, and Pittman.
MAKING PROM A MEMORY
Exceptional ed made magic for 350 special ed students. They held
their first prom in May. Area high school students applied make-up,
helped get gowns and tuxedos, pinned corsages on, arranged hair, and calmed
jittery nerves. Project leaders included Treva McDougal, Wanda
Westbrook, and Anna Smith.

UAB's AP English teacher and Marlee Neel of Hueytown
High is the alternate.
