Each year Dawson County Schools honor special needs children throughout the system during the statewide celebration of Exceptional Children's Week. During last week's City Council meeting Dawsonville Mayor James Grogan read the proclamation for Exceptional Children's Week to be observed during the week of March 7-11. Director of Special Education Hershel Bennett and eighth grader Jonathon Gross from Riverview Middle School were in attendance to represent the children from the Dawson County school system.
