Our GREAT Staff

Stephanie Pitts

Stephanie Pitts is the BGCEC Employee of the Quarter for the Fourth Quarter of 2009!
Stephanie had to step into big shoes to take over our Start SMART/Stay SMART programs. She created lesson plans, scheduled classes, reported statistics and helped teach the programs.

Stephanie initiated our chapter of SWAT (Students Working Against Tobacco). She is the liaison between BGCEC and the Walton County Tobacco Prevention Coalition. Since starting the group, our youth participated in the “Great American Smoke Out,” where they collected over 130 names in support of the banning of candy tobacco. Stephanie was instrumental in working with our kids, building a float for the “Christmas Around The Lake Yard” parade. Great job, Stephanie! Thank you for your hard work and dedication.
