MILLEDGEVILLE — We’re the proud parents of two children in the Baldwin County Public School System and one graduate of same.

The best of the best is available to every student and parent who will take advantage of it. You literally have to say, “no” to the chance to excel because the educators and administrators have a high level of commitment to deliver.

The opportunities our daughters and son have been afforded have enriched their lives and ours. The schools offer excellent and appropriate academic instruction and a wide variety of extracurricular activities.

Our kids have been particularly interested in the band and drama programs. I can’t say enough good things about these programs at the elementary, middle and high school levels and the talented educators who teach in them. Brad Bell, Terry Bragg, Christie Woods, Courtney Pilgrim, Mark Weaver, Cathy Carroll and Clint Raburn have had a lasting positive impact on our children’s lives.

Their peers in the fine arts programs are wonderful young people, the kind of friends you want your children to be around. They encourage each other and spur one another on to constantly strive for the best.

Our experience with the school system started with our oldest daughter’s kindergarten year at Blandy Hills Elementary School 14 years ago. We had no idea what areas she would become interested in, what subjects she would love (and hate), and what friends she would make. But she got off to the best possible start at BHES under the watchful eyes of dedicated teachers and administrators.

Our son did the same, and recently I picked up my youngest from school there for the last time. It was sentimental, but I’m happy with the prospect of her moving up to Oak Hill and then on to Baldwin just like her big brother and sister did — and not just attending, but doing very well.

Thanks and hats off to the faculty and staff of Blandy, Oak Hill and Baldwin. You don’t get the credit you deserve for nurturing and motivating students, especially under oftentimes difficult circumstances. Your influence goes far beyond the walls of the classroom and the hours they spend under your tutelage.

The schools and teachers of Baldwin County have helped ensure that our kids are well read, rooted in the realities of our times and prepared to continue their lifelong pursuit of learning.

God has richly blessed us with three amazing children. They are gifts to be cherished and trained up in the way they should go. We appreciate the contribution the schools and educators make in that process.
