Education

On Tuesday, Nov. 22, Judge Diane Wheeler and Henry County Attorney Virginia Harrod took time out of their busy schedule to speak to Bethlehem Girl Scout Troop 207 about careers, the courts and being honest and fair as positive examples about the meaning and the code of the entire Girl Scouts, according to the leaders. After a question and answer session the girls honored the women with a thank you gift and special judicial cookies.

The Reality Store, held Nov. 3 at Henry County High School, gave students a task — to live within their means while supplying shelter, food, clothing, utilities, transportation and other essentials to their family. The students have to make a budget and stick to it, no matter the challenges. Students were assigned an occupation, a salary and family statees. Then, they visited tables to purchase essentials like rent, food, a car and maybe child care.
