Alan Freeman, president of the Newton County Home Builders Association, presented $500 checks to the principals of Rocky Plains and Livingston elementary schools at Tuesday night's Board of Education meeting. Rocky Plains Principal Miranda Jones and Livingston Principal Wendy Hughes accepted the checks which they said will go toward the purchase of books at their schools' libraries. Jones said expanding Rocky Plains' library is a top priority for her and her employees because it is the newest elementary school in the county.
