White Elementary Dedicates New Track!
Posted by mattshultz on May 14, 2008
I had the honor to attend the dedication of the new track at White Elementary school today. This track was funded over a 4 year period by the students, parents, teachers, and business partners from throughout Bartow County. My father was an administrator at WES from 1979-1991 and my sister and I were students at White throughout our elementary school years. It was an exciting time in the history of the school and I was lucky to be a part of it. This is a GREAT example of the school community taking the initiative to think of and see a project completed on their own. This may be the only elementary school in the state to have a striped 200m track. Coach Lynn Hedden who was the inspiration for the track will no doubt put it to good use as she continues to teach our students about the importance of fitness throughout their lives!
