On Thursday, November 10, 2016, the Margaret Talkington School for Young Women Leaders will celebrate what would have been the 101st birthday of the school namesake, Margaret Talkington.
This celebration is an annual event at the school, but this year it has special significance with the naming of Talkington as a 2016 National Blue Ribbon School. Additionally, the principal of Talkington, Berta Fogerson, was named one of only seven principals across the United States winning the Terrel H. Bell award for Outstanding School Leadership.
The event will begin at 2:30 p.m. on Thursday in the gym at Talkington, 415 N. Ivory Ave., and will include a keynote address by Dr. Kitty Harris Wilkes and the unveiling of the 2016 National Blue Ribbon School banner. Media availability for district administration and Mrs. Fogerson will begin at 3:30 p.m. in the library.
