Talladega City Schools Pre-K Program

Hal Henderson is home of the Talladega City Schools Pre-K Program. Mrs. Angela Capers, a "highly qualified" teacher with exceptional talents, developed the program during the 2008-2009 academic year. Mrs. Karen Graves, a "highly qualified" paraprofessional, works collaboratively with the 2010-2011 teacher, Mrs. Patricia Cook, to continously move the program forward. Mrs. Cook was previously our State Department of Education Technical Assistant who evaluated our program. We have 18 students enrolled in Pre-K. I am also pleased to announce that our site has been recognized by the State Department of Education as "exemplary."

Special Visitor

This week Mrs. Curvin's 2nd Grade Class enjoyed a very special visitor. Mrs. Curvin's father, Mr. Walt Studdard, shared travel experiences & brought all students a unique gift.
Mr. Studdard spent about 5 weeks in Eastern Europe. He brought a map to show students where his journey had taken him.

Mr. Studdard toured Spain, Sicily, Albania, Greece, Macedonia, Nasovo, Bulgaria, Romania, Montenegro', Croatia & Slovenia.

The students were very respectful and attentive during his visit and enjoyed asking a variety of questions. Mr. Studdard also explained how the children in these countries consistently asked him for three American items: Pencils, chewing gum or an American $1.00 Bill.

Mr. Studdard brought each student a coin from Macedonia. In Macedonia the coin is worth $1.00, but in America it is worth only two cents.


Each student was very excited when receiving their coin as a souvenir.

Thank you, Mr. Studdard, for visiting Hal Hendeson and sharing your wealth of knowledge with our students. This was a wonderful opportunity for our students and they will always remember this second grade experience.
