✍️ Learning Highlight: Students in Mrs. Poage’s English class recently engaged in a meaningful discussion about jobs and careers. They also took time to intentionally journal about their career goals and the steps needed to achieve them. What a fantastic way to kick off the year—already working toward those post-high school aspirations!

🚧 Hands-On Learning with Mr. Greening's Class 🚧
Today students in Mr. Greening's class got some hands-on experience with mini-excavator training! They faced the challenge of carefully removing a basketball from a PVC pipe without knocking it down and then placing it in a trash can.
This activity required precision, patience, and thoughtful stick movements. Great job, all! 🖤❤🏴☠️

📚 Today, Parents as Teachers Director Whitney Holliday and Assistant Superintendent Meghan Karr joined educators from across Missouri in Kansas City for a special event hosted by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). 🎉
