TWIGGS COUNTY, Ga. (WGXA) -- Twiggs County students returned to school on Wednesday and the district welcomed them in with free school supplies, free backpacks, and new school themes, such as Twiggs Comprehensive Middle-High School's "All Aboard the TCMHS Fantastic Voyage" and Jeffersonville Elementary's "We're Wild About Learning".

The new themes were adopted to bolster a sense of excitement and school spirit among the student body.

And new students aren't the only fresh faces around the hallways. The district also welcomed its new Director of Human Resources Shannon L. Dotsikas and new Principal Dr. Johnnie Wright-Simmons.
