Mrs. Addington's 8th grade Advanced Art class is excited for our break!!
Today, we celebrate Francie Watts's last day in the Foxes Den. Mrs. Watts has served as a social studies teacher in the Foxes Den for nearly two decades, and before that, she served as a teacher in Tennessee for nearly as long. While in the Foxes Den, Mrs. Watts has served as the head of the Social Studies Department, she has taken students to KYA, and she has been the architect of dozens of Veterans' Day celebrations. Her classroom was frequently abuzz with debates, lively conversations, and riveting presentations. She's made her mark in the Den, and she will be missed greatly! Best of luck to Mrs. Watts in the retirement adventure!
