En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It honors Margaret Wimberly, who taught English and American Literature in the Newton County School System for 37 years and received recognition including a Who's Who among American High School Teachers honor and a Disney's American Teacher Award nomination. The resolution also highlights her community involvement, including her volunteer work at Grace United Methodist Church in Covington, her role with the North Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church, and her participation in groups such as the NAACP, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, and the Newton County MLK Scholar Committee. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to give her an official copy of the resolution as a keepsake.
