Memorial Drive Elementary School continued its tradition of excellence and innovation this year as students participated in the Kidsville, USA microsociety project. Featured on the front page of the Georgia Times Union on May 19, 1997, the program continues to gain statewide recognition. Several days a week, fourth and fifth graders at Memorial Drive School work at the school in their jobs in the post office, the factories, the police department, and the bank. The program educates by using practical skills, such as balancing government budgets and paying wages and taxes. One student told the Georgia Times Union, “It’s fun. You’ve got to add and you’ve got to do it right.”
