TrueBlue Check Patrol Visits Top Earning Pope High School

Georgia Natural Gas' TrueBlue Schools Program is proud to partner with the Georgia Department of Education this year in supporting the Schools of Excellence Awards Banquet and the Teacher of the Year Program. Held on February 5th at the Georgia International Conference Center, we gathered with State Superintendent Kathy Cox to celebrate 35 schools from around the state that have achieved excellence in test performance and overall student achievement.

Working with the Department of Education, TrueBlue Schools understands the reality of shrinking budgets and growing expectations for higher test scores among students. Our mission, as a Partner in Education, is to help Georgia schools get the job done by raising much-needed dollars in an easy way.

In addition to raising dollars, TrueBlue Schools is aslo supporting Georgia education organizations, like the Georgia PTA and Georgia Public Broadcasting, to help turn Georgia childhood obesity rates around - Georgia currently ranks 3rd worst in the country.


Kathy Cox, State Superintendent of Schools, gives her remarks about the 35 Georgia schools that have set themselves apart as leaders in student achievement.

During the Schools of Excellence Banquet, TrueBlue Schools had our family eating expert, Jennifer Bushman, demonstrate some of our quick, delicious - and healthy - TrueBlue Schools recipes for the crowd, along with Superintendent Cox and Georgia Teacher of the Year, Gwen Desselle. You too can take a glimpse at the recipes cooked and enjoyed during the reception by visiting http://www.trueblueschools.com/excellence.asp
