Connie's Corner Market Backs Perfect Attendance in Wayne County Schools

Wayne County Schools is proud to introduce "Make Every Day Count," our districtwide initiative to highlight just how much daily attendance matters, not only for academic learning, but for students' overall growth and well-being.

Throughout the school year, families will see this message reinforced through yard signs placed across the community and other efforts to keep attendance at the front of everyone's mind.

Those yard signs represent something bigger than a reminder, they're a visible show of support from local businesses and community partners who believe in Wayne County students. We're grateful for every partner standing behind this effort, and we're excited to spotlight the difference their generosity makes.

One of those partners is Connie's Corner Market, a proud supporter of "Make Every Day Count."

This semester, Connie's Corner Market is awarding $500 to one student with perfect attendance, drawn between now and Christmas break. A second $500 award will go to a perfect-attendance student in the spring semester.

Support like this reminds our students that the community is paying attention and are invested in them showing up every day. Connie's Corner Market is owned and operated by school board member Tony and Angela Roberts in partnership with Jarvis Criswell Jr. and his wife, Sandy, and their commitment to Wayne County students goes beyond the school walls.

We're proud to have local businesses like Connie's Corner Market standing behind "Make Every Day Count." Look for our yard signs throughout Wayne County, a visible way for businesses and community members to show their support for our students.

If you also value good attendance and would like to participate in this initiative, please contact Wayne County Schools Community Director, Derrick Harris at 606-348-8484.
