METTER - Candler County Teacher of the Year Jennifer Collins will be recognized, along with each school representative, at a banquet Tuesday, Nov. 9 to begin at 6 p.m. at the Jack Strickland Community Building in Metter. After first working as a secretary for 13 years, Collins said she finally realized what was missing in her life: working with children. Growing up with a thirst for knowledge, Collins believes her desire to teach began there.
