🔬✨ Hands-On Science in Action!

Teachers rolled up their sleeves and dove into Lab-Aids’ Issues and Science—the newest HQIM for grades 6–8 science!

Participants explored engaging lessons across life, Earth, and physical sciences (all rated Green on EdReports), while experiencing firsthand the power of student-centered investigations. From analyzing data to developing and using models, the day was packed with practical strategies teachers can take straight back to their classrooms.

We love seeing educators actively learning, collaborating, and strengthening science instruction for students across our region! 💙

We were so glad to have our Foster Grandparents with us yesterday for in-service training! 💙

We reviewed important program guidelines, checked in on how things are going, refreshed everyone’s knowledge about Medicare Fraud, and even got those brains working with a few worksheets.

A special thank you to Amber Hairston with the Bradley County Extension Office for sharing helpful tips on healthy eating and the importance of staying active.

We’re so grateful for our Foster Grandparents and the heart they bring to the students and schools they serve each day! 💕
