Rossville High School honored Ms. Laurel Jackson for 39 years of teaching.
On the last day of school she arrived in style in a Limousine provided by Russ Miller. The students surprised her by picking her up at her house and riding with her to school. Student Council made pancakes for the all the students in the morning for breakfast. Teacher Feud was played with survey questions the students answered. It was men versus the women teachers. At the end of the game, the women teachers won.
Another surprise was in store for Ms. Jackson, because she has read out loud to many students, the seniors returned to read Pete the Cat, one of her favorites to her. Mrs. Cathy Copeland invited former students and their parents to write a note or letter to Ms. Jackson. It was kept a secret, and the book contained over 200 letters. Luke Foster and Terry Horak, former students, read their notes to her. Ms. Pam Sumner shared a video of favorite memories from Delia Grade School and Rossville High. The students gave Ms. Jackson Candy Bar Awards, like a Snickers bar for helping us to laugh at our mistakes and keep trying. Ms. Jackson has Bulldog pride and always encouraged all students to sing and stand up for the school fight song. To honor her the students stood up and loudly and proudly sang our fight song. Student Council then grilled hot dogs for the students and staff and then played activities like dodge ball and charades. It was a great last day of school.
