READY TO MEET THEIR GUESTS, Swain School’s 4th
grade GT students, in full colonial dress, and their teacher,
Betty Bissette enjoy the view of Edenton Bay from the steps
of the Barker House Visitor Center.
Winston-Salem Students Spend A Memorable Day In Edenton
In GT you’re exposed to a
little of everything from A to
Z, not stopping after the
necessary ABC. Fifteen 4th
grade students in the Gifted
and Talented Exceptional
Children’s program at
Ernest A. Swain Elemen
tary School recently learned
the meaning of, and put the
capital “H” on, the word
hostessing. Last week, the
class literally rolled out the
colonial red carpet to make
sure their guests, forty-six
GT students and their five
teacher-chaperons from
Winston-Salem would never
forget their day spent in
Edenton.
Education entertainment
was the order of the day for
the Forsyth County 4th
graders who, as a regular
part of their curriculum,
were on a five day tour of
North Carolina. The en
tertainment provided
resulted from weeks of
research, correspondence,
planning and practice.

granting interview time to
the Swain youngsters,
opening their homes to the
guests, opening establish
ments earlier than usual
and, in general, making the
guests welcome. A good
lesson was taught, learned
and most of all enjoyed.
The day actually began in
February with a call to
Betty Bissette, GT teacher
at Swain, from Vann
Johnson, former resident of
Edenton and strong ad
vocate of school children’s
programs. It was Mary
Vann’s, his daughter, class
which was to make the trip.
Vann had convinced the
Forsyth planners that a visit
to historic Edenton was a
must and would be a
highlight of the week long
tour.
From that point on the
correspondence between the
“city” and “county”
students flew. For all their
differences, the biggest
being that GT students in
Forsyth County are a self

Highlights of the special
guests day began with an
early morning tour of Hayes
Plantation, conducted by
Mrs. Gilliam Wood. To give
the students a historical
background for what they
were about to see, hostesses
received the young tourists
earlier than usual at the
Barker House Museum,
where a film was viewed.
Then the excitement
