MLK Day
MLK Guidelines for the Art and Essays are on the second page of the invite I sent out on December 9th. Please send Tanae McLean all entries for the competition via email or courier. The deadline is January 12. Also, let me know who is planning on entering as I want to make sure South is represented on this special day.
Also, on MLK day we are going to try to get as many SOUTH families to attend the 2:00 Charlotte Hornet Game. I will be sending a flyer out and need everyone to ADVERTISE. Not a fundraiser just a FUN time!
5 MORE DAYS...Have FUN but Remain Consistent
AMAZING EdCamp
We want to thank you all for participating in the 2015 Elementary Tech PD. We especially want to thank our amazing facilitators Rachel Graham, Ritamarie Brannon, Susan Overcash, Erin Micklow, Angie Godbout, Cheryl McCrorey and Amy Judd. It was so empowering to see teachers from across our district collaborating and working towards our common goal of increasing student learning. Our hope is that you took at least one tool or instructional strategy that you can use with your students as early as this week. If there was another session you wished to attend and weren't able to, click here to access the Google Drive folder that contains materials from each session. HUGE thanks so much to Susan Overcash and Lauren Pollock for their vision and follow through on this entire collaborative endeavor!
