Speaker says being present and having presence important

It was a night to remem­ber! The speaker was Mr. Tony Yarber and he be­lieved that Kemper Middle School (with the Kemper County Schools’ District) was an amazing place for parents and kids to be that night! This was stated by Christian Doss (a Kemper County Middle School eighth grade student who attended that night). The teachers and parents in at­tendance demonstrated this by show of applause as Mr. Yarber delivered an engaging speech about education.

Mr. Yarber challenged teachers, parents, and stu­dents to be present and be a presence concerning student achievement, ed­ucation, and choices that affect the lives of students Mr. Yarber complemented the Kemper Middle School administration, parents, and teachers with their fight to make a difference pushing toward student achievement in the Kem­per County Schools’ Dis­trict. He gave examples on how to continue in doing so by presenting a caring speech about edu­cation and student achievement.

It was my pleasure to join others to witness Mr. Yarber cheer on the efforts of the Kemper County Schools’ District plight to encourage parental and student involvement in ed­ucation. With these efforts and future activities, hope­fully administration, teach­ers, parents, and students can unite in the fight to push toward positive choices for students to re­ceive a quality education with the Kemper County Schools’ System.
