CONGRATULATIONS Ty on winning Fox 5 Atlanta's High 5 for Teachers Georgia Teacher of the Year!!! AND CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN, JUST ANNOUNCED MORGAN COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER OF THE YEAR!!!! http://www.fox5atlanta.com/good-day/ty-manning-wins-2019-high-5-for-teachers-contest Ty  Manning, Morgan County High School Art teacher and lead singer of the Slawdog Biscuits and The Bearfoot Hookers, is undergoing his 3rd open heart surgery to have a valve implant on May 6th. Ty's kitchen floor is held together by termites holding hands from a roof leak in his 100 year old house. The extreme water damage and mold in his kitchen needs repaired IMMEDIATELY, so he can heal in a safe environment. All proceeds go towards repairs and to help with his recovery and medical bills. Raised in Brantley County, near Waycross, Ga., Ty is a longtime member of the Athens Music and Art family. He is a UGA and UF graduate who has taught Art at Morgan County High School for almost 20 years. On April 30th 2019, Ty Manning was awarded the Fox 5's High 5 for Teachers Georgia Teacher of the Year for the impact he has left on his students! A $2500 check was given to Morgan County High School on his behalf. There's no one who deserves recognition more. He's the teacher you always wanted. He loves his students and talks about them constantly. He calls them "His Babies". He is loved by all who meet him, and spreads joy wherever he goes. Lets rally for the man who has given so much to so many! Sunday, May 5th, at The Foundry in Athens, Ga, we are holding a benefit concert to support the cause.  "Cinco de Ty-o" will be a jam featuring Athens most talented songwriters and members of his musical family.  There will be an art show, silent auction, chance to win a Ty Manning painting, Iconic, limited edition Ty T-SHIRTS, and many other ways to donate.
