Maysville Elementary Receives Leader In Me Grant

Maysville Elementary School has been awarded over thirty-one thousand dollars by the Georgia Department of Education for the Leader In Me Grant, the state announced last week. 

Maysville will receive a total of $31,769.82 for the grant, which is focused on assisting schools and districts by building leadership and life skills in students and staff members by creating a high-trust culture and accelerating academic achievement. Maysville principal Dr. Katie Warwick said she has started sharing ideas from the grant with staff as they begin to implement the program within the school.

"We are thrilled to receive the news of this grant," Warwick said. "This program is built on establishing student leaders within the school building. Students will have their own leadership notebooks and will have their own opportunity to develop leadership skills in their own right  here at Maysville Elementary School."

Warwick noted this program is built on a foundation of student leadership and a key component of that is incorporating a partnership with parents and community members. Maysville Elementary will officially begin the program for the 2024-25 school year.
