SUMMARY: One local elementary school, Poer Springs Elementary, held a fun game called The Mask Reader in February to encourage students to read. Each week, students listened to a new book and guessed which teacher was reading it. A teacher emphasized the importance of strengthening students’ reading skills, especially for the third-grade GATE test. The goal was to get kids excited about reading and show them that it can be fun. Students were also encouraged to take AR tests to track their progress towards their AR goals. The GATE test is a standardized test that all third-grade students must pass to advance to the fourth grade.

SUMMARY: After nearly two hours of deliberation, the jury found Carly Madison Gregg guilty on all charges, including the murder of her mother, Ashley Smiley, attempted murder of her stepfather, Heath Smiley, and tampering with evidence. Gregg was sentenced to two life sentences without parole and ten years for tampering with evidence. Defense attorney Kevin Camp acknowledged the case’s difficulty and stated they rejected a 40-year plea deal offered by the state. State Attorney Katherine Newman said life imprisonment was the only suitable sentence. Judge Arthur ruled that all sentences will be served concurrently. An appeal is planned within 40 days.
