Mrs. Lindsey Gilmour, Teacher Specialist of Supplemental Instruction, was honored yesterday at Freedom Federal Credit Union's Golden Apple Awards Reception! Unfortunately, Mrs. Gilmour was unable to attend the reception, so Mrs. Coyne accepted the award on her behalf. Mrs. Gilmour will use her award to develop the GOAL GETTERS program at Hall's Cross Roads. This program will provide hands on learning materials to families. We are so proud of Mrs. Gilmour and her initiative. Hall's Yeah! 🦅
