For those of you who are not aware, the teachers and administration at Shreve Island Elementary have all been trained to use Kagan Cooperative Learning Strategies. Using Kagan in the classroom allows for a larger number of students to participate in classroom discussions while also strengthening the classroom community. This week we have had the pleasure of hosting two Kagan trainers on campus! These women observed every single teacher on campus using a Kagan strategy and offered advice for how to improve. The trainers were sincerely impressed with both our teachers and our students. We have the best teachers in Lousiana and I am proud to be their principal!

Don't forget Friday is the Fall Bash! This is our biggest and most important fundraiser of the year. There will be more fun activities for kids than ever before. Fall Ball also features our famous Silent Auction. Our PTA has been working so hard to solicit donations and have lots of incredible items and services up for bid. It is going to be a great time for all. Can’t wait to see you there!
