VALDOSTA— Congratulations to the September S.A.F.E. (Safety Awareness For Everyone) Award Winners with Lowndes County Schools! The September winners are Mildred Akins and Mac Singletary with Lake Park Elementary School. These dedicated employees were selected for this award for making safety their #1 priority! Each winner received a $50 gift and will be re-entered for a $100 drawing at the end of the school year. Valdosta Insurance Services sponsor this award.

Mildred Akins exemplifies the safety policies and procedures for the kitchen and cafeteria. She also helps to ensure all coworkers do the same at all times. Mildred goes over and beyond to ensure the safety of the children in the cafeteria. 

Dare Howze, Interim Cafeteria Manager, at Lake Park Elementary School

Mr. Singletary has only worked for Lowndes for a few months; yet, he has made a large impact at Lake Park Elementary. He came to work for Lowndes bringing with him ample experience and knowledge regarding the job for which he was hired. Mr. Singletary consistently goes above and beyond in carrying out his custodial duties resulting in a very clean and safe environment for the students, staff and guests in his assigned cleaning area. Mr. Singletary is a very deserving recipient of the S.A.F.E. Award.
