Liberty Elementary School Principal Terri Powers received the “Educator of the Year” award last Thursday from Junior Achievement of Georgia and Walters Management Company. Junior Achievement is a non-profit organization that brings the real world to students through hands-on curriculum delivered by a trained classroom volunteer to encourage growth in areas like work-readiness, financial literacy, and entrepreneurship. The program has been a part of the entire school’s curriculum at Liberty Elementary since 2008. Stephens County School Superintendent Sherrie Whiten said Powers is deserving of this award. “Mrs. Powers does an outstanding job,” said Whiten. “It is just one more of those great things they do at Liberty Elementary and we are so proud of her.” In a press release about the award, Powers said that Junior Achievement has really benefited students at Liberty by encouraging an early foundation for civic awareness. She added that her hope is that it will encourage community involvement throughout their lives.Liberty Elementary School Principal Terri Powers received the “Educator of the Year” award last Thursday from Junior Achievement of Georgia and Walters Management Company.
