Civic-Minded 5th Graders

On April 1st, several 5th grade students attended the 4-H Citizenship Short Course at the County offices in Blountville.


Attending were Emma Thurston, Carter Manis, Drew Robinette, Madalin Scott, and Austin Ramsey, seen below with Mayor Steve Godsey.


This event was sponsored by Farm Bureau and the UT Extension Office. Students toured all the county offices in Blountville, learning about and meeting our local government officials. They also met with executives from each office who explained their jobs and some of their duties. The students toured the Court House, went inside a court room, and talked with a local judge. They also visited the 911 Dispatch and a crime investigation room. It was a very educational morning spent learning about our county's government!
