Kathy Cox is Smarter Than a Fifth Grader
What a great opportunity to showcase our Georgia School Superintendent, Kathy Cox, as she won $1,000,000 last Friday(9-12-08) on the Fox game show "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?" We in Fayette County are especially proud of Mrs. Cox's prize winning accomplishment because she is a former high school social studies teacher from our county and her family resides in Fayetteville. Even more admirable than winning was what she chose to do with the money--- donate all the proceeds to state schools for the deaf and one for the blind. I found the news article , For the Georgia Schools Chief, Geography and History Pay Off , online posted at NYTimes.com and the entire story can be read by clicking on the article link. Way to go Kathy!!

Bonnie, I would have missed several of the questions that Kathy Cox had to answer! Yet, it was definitely exciting seeing her represent Georgia!
I heard so much controversy about her going on the show. I think it is great! That she donated the money made it even better!
I am very very proud of her! I believe that she represented our state very well.... I am not sure that I would have been able to do such a good job (unfortunately!)
Bonnie, I thought Kathy Cox's performance was great, too. My only fear - someone may get the idea and make winning prize money a part of our job description. Thanks, RobertW
