Supplies, Technology and Yearbook Pick Up

We know that everyone is anxious about picking up supplies, yearbooks and technology. Bear with us! A schedule for that will be forthcoming in the next couple of weeks.

Summer Jumpstart Academy went virtual this year! Jumpstart is a 4-week program designed to get incoming 6th graders prepared for their first year at TAF@Saghalie. Students are able get first hand experience with project based, STEM integrated learning.

This year Jumpstart operated 2 days a week, for 2 hours with two different sessions (two different sets of 6th graders each session). We had a total 39 students attend.

Students participated in Financial Beginnings workshops led by Bank of America volunteers; which taught them financial literacy. They also participated in coding workshops led by Ms. Michelle TAF's Teacher Scientist Partnership (TSP) Program Manager.

Students picked up STEM kits at the beginning of the program. The STEM kits contained activities that gave the students a chance to explore the countries Guatemala, France, Australia and Indonesia. TAF@Saghalie 6th grade teachers; Ms. May and Mr. Tracy, also provided lessons on these countries. Throughout the program, student had selected one of the four countries to focused on and used the content learned from their teachers to create a website during their coding workshops with Ms. Michelle.

On the last day of the program students presented their websites, along with activities made from their STEM kits to families, staff and their peers. Presentation day was a victory, with 100% student participation.
