The Macon County Board of Education had the absolute best December Board Meeting! Thank you Franklin High School for hosting! When we arrived, we were greeted by the FHS FFA Officers. We then made our way to the Aviation Lab where we experienced the flight simulator. Once that concluded, we were escorted to the cafeteria where we enjoyed a delicious meal that was prepared by FHS Foods and Nutrition classes. We received special handmade gifts from Art, Welding, Carpentry, Aviation and FBLA. We thoroughly enjoyed the interaction we were able to have with each of the students. A huge shout out to FHS Senior Emma Breeden and FHS Student Leadership for organizing the evening as well as FHS Freshman Timothy Bishop who rocked the FFA Creed! Thank you to each and everyone that made our December Board Meeting such a special night!
