Busy, Busy, Busy
Here in the LEAD Academy we have had a busy few months! Creating classrooms, ornaments, and beginning the process for getting concurrent credit with UCA.
Classrooms
Mrs. Grigg's Advanced Child Care Guidance classes spent the last few weeks creating scale models of preschool classrooms. Students use everyday craft materials making each item to fill their room and make it unique.
Ornaments
Ms. Harlan's Lifespan Development students make salt-dough fetus ornaments. These ornaments depict the fetus at 12 weeks of gestation, featuring a placenta and umbilical cord too!
Mentorship
Ms. Eidson's classes are joining forces with the student's favorite teachers through a mentorship project. It was an enlightening experience into how teachers are currently designing and delivering lessons. We’ll begin a college course from UCA in January!
Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA)
LEAD Academy and FCCLA go hand in hand, SHS has an active FCCLA group offering leadership opportunities, service learning, and competitive events while improving not only ourselves, but our school and community. We have created dog toys for the local animal shelter and adopted a nursing home resident named John to send goodies to throughout the year.
