Riverwood Cross Country

#BlackHistoryMonth In celebration of Black History Month we're highlighting two Marines who've found themselves in a piece black history as the first African American duo to serve simultaneously as Platoon Commander and Platoon Sergeant of the U.S. Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon.

Today we are shining a spotlight on our Riverwood Professional of the Year, Sylvia Smith! The Riverwood faculty and staff nominated and voted for this year’s fi...nalists, and the honorees received their awards at a faculty meeting last week. Sylvia Smith has been with Fulton County Schools since 2007. She worked at Roswell North Elementary School in the Media Center and as a Pre-K Parapro, and in the Ison Springs Elementary School Media Center during their first year of operation. Ms. Smith began working in Riverwood's Media Center in 2012. She has spent eight years as Riverwood’s Media Center Parapro, where she has seen her responsibilities grow from checking out books to trouble-shooting student devices. Ms. Smith is Riverwood’s Device Coordinator and the school’s Textbook Coordinator. This year she moved to the Virtual Lab, where she also works with students taking online courses. She’s still our go-to for trouble-shooting device issues, and preparing and issuing devices for new students or students who need them. Ms. Smith has also served as the Girls Cross Country Assistant Coach for five years. She says, "I enjoy what I’m doing and look forward to coming to work every day! In last week’s awards presentation, our administrators stated, Many of our students would not be successful if it was not for her commitment to distributing textbooks, hot spots, and most importantly, devices. There are few students in this building she has not touched this year, and we are so thankful for her hard work and dedication. Thank you, Sylvia Smith, for your many contributions to the Riverwood Community! *If you don't recognize her in the photo, she's the one with her hand raised at a Riverwood Girls Cross Country practice Scavenger Hunt Day this fall.
