🌟 Board Member Spotlight: Tenjurie Thomas 🌟 As we celebrate Board of Education Appreciation Week, we proudly highlight the dedicated individuals shaping the future of Brooks County Schools! 🔹 Tenjurie Thomas 🔹 Years on Board: 4 (Beginning second term) What inspired her to serve? " My inspiration comes from my father, the late Frank L. Thomas, who taught school for thirty-seven years and served over twenty years on the Board of Education. In addition, I am an educator with a family of educators: my mother, uncles, aunts, and grandparents inspire me daily. My passion for education, a desire to make positive changes in the community, and a commitment to advocating for students and teachers propels me to serve." What she loves most about Brooks County Schools: "Brooks County Schools is committed to creating a positive and supportive learning environment for students, teachers, and support staff. Brooks County Schools emphasizes community, innovation, and opportunities for growth. Whether it's academics, performing arts, sports, and diverse educational approaches through CTAE (Career, Technical and Agricultural Education), students feel inspired, valued, and motivated to succeed. In addition, fostering a strong connection between families and schools is the cornerstone of Brooks County Schools." Her advice for students: "One piece of advice I would give students is to be consistent and persistent as you prepare for the future." Thank you, Ms. Thomas, for your dedication and service to Brooks County Schools! ❤️💙
