Dr. Shanna Wilkes, guest speaker for the December 2017
Gilmer Retired Educators Association meeting

Our own Gilmer High School Jazz Cats opened the meeting with Christmas and seasonal music.  Directed by Joe Pflueger, the Jazz Cats provided the best performance of the year for those Gilmer retired educators in attendance.

Dr. Shanna Wilkes, Gilmer County Charter Schools Superintendent, addressed the Georgia Retired Educators Association (GREA), Gilmer Chapter, during the final meeting of 2017.  Dr. Wilkes’ remarks included capital budget, building and construction plan, Gilmer County Schools performance versus 2015 and state results, new programs and school programs and expense.

Amanda Payne, of Edward Jones Investments, and Scott Logan, of Logan Funeral Home, sponsored our meeting and meal for 80 members and guests.  We are so very thankful for our sponsors and the Jazz Cats. Also in attendance was GREA Area 16 Director Barbara Howard and her husband, Jim.

Merry Christmas from your Gilmer Retired Educators Association.
