Way to go Greg and all of the AWESOME teachers at Winnona Park!

Congratulations Winnona Park ES. Very few schools statewide achieve Platinum status in the SSAS. The community as a whole, the district, and the local school staff are to be commended for excellence.
And now …
I’ve been checking in on DM since this announcement was posted and I am saddened to still see only 2 posts. All of the school closing, road status, sled/photo threads continue to add comments. Sad commentary in itself, don’t you think Decatur Metro?
‘Tis a good observation Sharron and perhaps if I had provided a bit more context it would have garnered more responses, but don’t be too hard on the masses. There’s definitely a herd mentality on commenting. When a story really dominates the comments. – as the snow has – it can actually prevent comments on other subjects. I haven’t thought it through enough to really guess as to why, but I’ve felt and experienced it numerous times on this site.
I like waffles.
I like sad waffles–and when I can’t figure out why they’re sad.
Go Decatur schools!
I always see Decatur teachers at Kavarna on the weekends preparing lesson plans, hard at work and so dedicated. Yay for awesome teachers, yay for Winona Park.
I guess this makes it an added bonus that we are being redistricted there in the fall! Good job Winnona!
Congratulations to all the staff and students at Winnona. We are proud of you all!
