A Key to Success There's a time for work and a time for play, this seems to be the philosophy of Flint River Academy's teachers. Taking a break from the work with their students is something that every elementary teacher enjoyed. Though day to day work is a necessary part of learning, escaping from the classroom was a real treat therefore the elementary teachers organized many field trips and activities for their students. This gives the students a chance to learn, grow, and have fun at the same time. Kalynn Hatchett teaches Play Learn at Flint River. She has two children and is a Sunday School teacher at Woodbury Baptist Church. Kay Harbin attended Car- son-Newman College where she received a BA in psy- chology.
