Edmonson Voice Staff Report:
Mrs. Heather White, a 4th grade teacher at South Edmonson Elementary, has been named a winner of the Leachman Buick GMC and WNKY's "One Classroom at a Time" award, according to Principal Josh Long.

Mr. Long said that each week, contestants from all over south central Kentucky can nominate themselves or a classroom for a $500 check from Leachman Buick GMC to use toward a classroom project. Mrs. Heather was nominated for her classroom's 4th grade greenhouse and outdoor classroom project.

Through the help of Mrs. Kim Taylor and Mrs. Heather Deweese, they started a garden club at SEES and will be working this spring on planting seeds in the greenhouse. This will allow students the opportunity for hands-on learning in science.

Long said the money will be used for tables and supplies for the greenhouse. You can watch a television segment with Mrs. Heather on WNKY's Channel 40 Friday night at 5pm.
