Smith was surprised with the commendation bright and early last Tuesday morning by Superintendent Dr. Gregory K. Adkins and members of the Lee County School Board.
Smith was extremely surprised and thanked first and foremost her students for the honor.
“This is so exciting and it’s because of you guys!” Smith said.
