Before that vision became a reality, Johnson knew that she wanted the location to be in Clinton. Clinton is the hometown of Charlotte Johnson and is also where her family resides. Located right off Main Street, Johnson and Company is the first general store to operate in Downtown Clinton since the 1950s. When one walks into the store, you cannot help but feel a bit nostalgic. From the smells of the sweet tea candles to the leather from the canoe bags. You will find a little bit of old mixed with new at Johnson and Company. At Johnson and Company, shoppers can purchase home décor, clothing items and accessories, stylish luggage, and even set up wedding registries. Charlotte Johnson says, Since opening in October of 2017, my daughter, Bekah and I, have gotten to know many new faces and families. People often stop in just to say hello. Johnson also states that she is very supportive of the Anderson County Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce has played a vital part in our business and they have been so helpful. The Chamber is a great resource for all business owners and I m thankful for all the work they do in our community. Next time you are driving through downtown, stop by Johnson and Company for a visit! They are open Tuesday- Friday from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm and on Saturdays from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm.

In Veterinarian Science, Sydney Zemke was second high individual, Annalyse Leach was 10th high individual and Gabby Hutton was 14th high individual in Tennessee. On the Poultry Team, Treythan Beaty was fourth high individual, Desir ee Burkett was sixth high individual and Nicholas Monday was ninth high individual in Tennessee. The purpose of the Veterinary Science (Career Development Event) is to promote college and career readiness by providing students with opportunities to develop technical knowledge and demonstrate practical skills in the numerous fields of veterinary science including animal behavior, Disease (causes and sources, signs and clinical signs), Medical terminology, Medical records, Anatomy/physiology, Regulations (OSHA: Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration; GHS: Globally Harmonized System for Hazard Communication; SDS: Safety Data Sheets), Patient management, Facility management, Practice management, Genetics, Nutrition and Veterinary math applications. The FFA Poultry Evaluation Contest (Career Development Event) provides an opportunity for FFA members to display their agricultural knowledge and skills in the area of Poultry Science and Evaluation. FFA students applied industry-specific skills as they competed in the state Poultry Evaluation contest. Students were responsible in acting as an USDA inspector when assessing various poultry products. There were 100 FFA members participating from 25 chapters across from Tennessee in both contests. The contest was hosted by UT Martin. This is one of many Career Development Events that the Anderson County FFA participates in throughout the year, giving real-world application to career related skills learned in class.

GEAR UP to Continue for Anderson County Schools The Tennessee Higher Education Commission announced that Anderson County Schools is the recipient of a $853, GEAR UP grant over the next six years. The grant funds will provide services to students and families with the aim of increasing enrollment and success in postsecondary education. The funding is part of the U.S. Department of Education s Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP) grant, which aims to increase the number of low-income students in Tennessee who are accessing and succeeding in higher education. Anderson County Schools (specifically Clinton High School, Clinton Middle School, and Norwood Middle School), is one of 15 communities selected to receive funds. The communities were selected through a competitive application process by the Tennessee Higher Education Commission, the administrator of the state s GEAR UP TN grant. We are so excited and honored to be awarded the GEAR UP TN grant! In Anderson County it is our intent to continue to promote post-secondary access for all students. This funding will support, not supplant, career exposure and college readiness initiatives which lead to success in post-secondary education. Through improved academic performance, higher graduation rates and shared post-secondary knowledge and opportunities, it is our desire to both educate our school community and reduce the anxiety that is prevalent in so many students and their families surrounding education after high school, said Eric Snider, Director of Secondary Education for Anderson County Schools. As part of the project, Clinton High School and its feeder schools will form a local, community-based GEAR UP TN Collaborative to provide college access and success-focused services to students at Clinton High School, Clinton Middle School, and Norwood Middle School. Students in the Class of 2023, who are currently in the seventh grade, will receive services as a cohort through middle school, high school, and their first year of postsecondary education. Seniors at Clinton High School will also receive direct services that will help them prepare for college and apply to postsecondary programs. Services will include one-onone mentoring, tutoring, college visits, and financial aid counseling. GEAR UP TN will also provide students across the state of Tennessee with college and financial aid resources, including a college access and success website, CollegeforTN.org. Each GEAR UP TN Collaborative includes formal partnerships with at least one middle school, one high school, a higher education institution, a local board of education and at least two community-based organizations. Partners will help implement grant activities and ensure that the momentum of college access work continues beyond the six-year grant. Clinton High School s GEAR UP TN Collaborative will partner with Roane State Community College, Tennessee College of Applied Technology, Pellissippi State Community College, Clayton Homes, SL Tennessee, Aisin, Eagle Bend Manufacturing, Junior Achievement, Techmer, and Anderson County Chamber of Commerce. This is Tennessee s third GEAR UP grant. Tennessee s first GEAR UP TN project, which began in 2005, resulted in a 22.8 percent increase in college-going rates in the nine rural school 8 districts. Communities served by Tennessee s second GEAR UP TN grant, which began in 2012, have shown impressive results, including over 9 percentage points of growth in college-going rates since Tennessee was one of ten states awarded a GEAR UP grant as part of the 2017 competition.

CES Hosts 2nd Annual U.S. History Wax Museum ifth grade students at Clinton Elementary School displayed the 2nd Annual U.S. History Wax Museum on May 17. Students chose a historical figure from Pre-Civil War to modern times that made a significant contribution to American History. Students conducted research on this person, and then wrote an essay and speech about their life. Fifth grade students spent two days peer-editing each other s work and making revisions. On the day of the wax museum, students dressed up as their historical figure and lined the halls of CES with their tri-fold poster board, pictures about that person, and props that were significant to the person s life. As people walked by, they pressed the button in front of the student and they came alive to say their speech. Fifth graders worked very hard on this project and were very excited to present it to other students, teachers, and the community.
