TUPELO, Miss. (WCBI) -Sometimes even teachers need a little refresher course.Lee County teachers and school administrators were guests of the Community Development Foundation for the 38th Annual Industry Education Day.

Author and Concordia University professor Brad Johnson talked with elementary teachers Monday morning about ways to help their young students excel in school and beyond.

“So it’s important to encourage and empower kids to find out what they do well and help them focus on their strengths too so that they feel successful instead of just focusing on what they do not do well.”

Lee County 7th through 12th grade teachers began their day at Tupelo’s Furniture Market and toured area industries.
