Getwell Elementary held its T-CAP Rally on Friday, April 2008. Congressman Steve Cohen was the keynote speaker. We were honored to have several other special guests attend. They were State Sentator Reginald Tate, State Senator Beverlay Marrero, Comissioner James Harvey, Dr. Freda Williams, Mr. Howard Richardson, Mr. Kermit Moore, Jr., Mr. Eddie Jones, Dr. Herbert Lester, and Ms. Yvonne Acey. Getwell appreciates their support and help in motivating our students to the best on the T-CAP test.

April Teachers of the Month at Getwell are Mrs. Rita Patterson and Ms. Nekia Patton. Mrs. Patterson and Ms. N. Patton are both second grade teachers. They have worked very hard to prepare their students for third grade. They both deserve a special pat on the back for all their hard work.
