Principal Dr. John I. Davis Jr, and Asst. Principal Mrs. Nancy Gay and Ms. Karen J. Lawrence Ag Specialist, Southwest Georgia Project.
I enjoyed visiting "The Garden" at the International Studies Elementary Charter School to see their nun traditional farming project and learn about the day-to-day operations of their Ag program. Dr. Davis accredits Mrs. Gaye's
love of agriculture as a way to educate and engage our children was very enlightening and full of excitement. I am looking forward to a return visit when the children are interacting in "The Garden".

Congratulations to the 4C Academy for allowing us to be a part of their Black History month and Entrepreneurial Expo. I really enjoy the opportunity to work with young people 9th through 10th grade and to learn that our children are working towards building their future and getting college preparation while doing so. Shout out to Dr. Commodore Conyers for his contribution to education and our Black History.
