At Park Creek School, students are celebrating Read Across America Week in the most imaginative way! šŸ“š

Art Teacher Adam Sanford teamed up with Media Specialist Hannah Higgins to transform the media center into cozy ā€œbook cavesā€ designed and created by students. Each grade level selected a book theme, and during art class, students brought their caves to life with creative interiors inspired by their chosen stories.

To complete the experience, themed books were placed inside each cave, giving students the perfect spot to dive into a new adventure and celebrate the joy of reading!

Classroom Spotlight: Teachers Mary Bramblett and Megan Rebman at Dalton Junior High School recently combined their classes for a fun and engaging ā€œBook Clubā€! Students chose one of four curriculum-based books to read, then met throughout the unit to discuss what they were learning.


To show their understanding, students created posters that summarized important evidence from the text and made predictions about the story. A great way to build reading, discussion, and critical thinking skills!

Dalton Public Schools Celebrates Black History Month: Spotlight on Tyree Goodlett

In honor of Black History Month, Dalton Public Schools is highlighting staff members who make a meaningful impact in their schools and communities. Tyree Goodlett, a teacher at Hammond Creek Middle School, is a dedicated educator and lifelong Dalton native who exemplifies leadership both in and beyond the classroom.

In January 2016, Goodlett made history as the first African-American ever elected to the Dalton City Councilā€”an achievement that reflects his deep commitment to representation, service, and progress. For Goodlett, Black History Month highlights the power of visibility and inclusion in shaping futures.

ā€œBeing a person of color who is a male educator and the first person of color elected to the Dalton City Council is important because representation in both education and local government creates powerful change,ā€ he shared. In the classroom, Goodlett understands the importance of serving as a visible example of leadership and possibility for students who may not often see themselves reflected in positions of authority.

His role in city leadership carries that impact even further. ā€œBreaking barriers and making history sends a clear message to the community that progress, inclusion, and diverse voices matter,ā€ Goodlett said. He hopes his journey shows young peopleā€”especially students of colorā€”that their dreams are valid and that they, too, can grow into leaders who help shape their cityā€™s future.

Serving as both an educator and a city council member allows Goodlett to bridge education and public service in meaningful ways. With firsthand insight into the needs of students, families, and schools, he continues to advocate for policies that support equity, opportunity, and community growth. ā€œBeing the first person of color elected to Dalton City Council is not just a personal achievementā€”it represents hope, progress, and a step toward a more inclusive and representative local government that truly reflects the people it serves.ā€
