'Light of learning' shines at this elementary school

Columnist and College of Education alumna Myra Blackmon recently recounted her visit to Fowler Drive Elementary School in Athens. The school is part of the Professional Development School District, a partnership between Clarke County schools and the College of Education.

"Fowler Drive Elementary is a light in the darkness. It exemplifies what public education can be if we are willing to dedicate the resources, find the best teachers and create an environment that fosters a love of learning. Every child deserves it," she writes.
