Six of our wonderful teachers were awarded grants from the Baldwin EMC Operation Round Up Star Light Foundation. Deborah Brown was awarded her grant for “Joyful Noise” which will bring music-based literacy to her classes. Kelly Cote, 5th grade, received a grant for “Anyone can Code.” With this, her class will be learning to program Robots. Fun! Our next recipient was Natasha Pratt for “Art on Another Level.” With her grant, she has big plans to bring in artist Ricky Trione and Timmy Abell for the entire school. We are looking forward to their visit! Jamie Koons was awarded her grant for K-NEX in the K-lassroom! Her science classes will have so much fun with that. Our resource teacher, Laura Terrell, was awarded her grant for “Dr. Seuss Week.” She will be able to provide fun activities, such as a Dr. Seuss themed breakfast, and Dr. Seuss library books for our students. Our last recipient was Moira Flint for “Digging for Knowledge.” We can’t wait to see the raised gardening beds that will be used to grow edibles as well as plants that support pollinators, butterflies, and caterpillars. The combined total awarded to our teachers was more than $5000! We are very excited for you all!
An exciting time for students and faculty at SPCS! We’ve been preparing and rehearsing for a commercial. The filming was done this past week and still photos and other information has been submitted. We can’t wait to share the final product with everyone! Thank you to Mrs. Sharee Fincher and Mrs. Miska Dembowski for scheduling and organizing the activities. [photos - Natasha Pratt]
