📚 Recently, we were honored to welcome Tennessee Commissioner of Education Lizzette Reynolds and members of her team to the Summer Learning Camp at #LearningWayElementarySchool!

During her visit, Commissioner Reynolds toured several classrooms, observed #student learning in action and met with educators who are making a difference every day. Our #students and staff represented Learning Way and #BedfordCountySchools with excellence, showcasing their hard work, enthusiasm and commitment to learning. ⭐

Commissioner Reynolds left impressed by what she saw, and we couldn't be prouder of the incredible work taking place in our Summer Learning Camps across Bedford County Schools! 🎉

🎨⭐ Creativity Meets History at Summer Learning Camp! ⭐🎨

Angie Jackson from Arty All the Time recently visited students at #CascadeMiddleSchool's Summer Learning Camp and showed them how to use bold, vibrant, art deco inspired techniques to celebrate America’s upcoming 250th anniversary!

#Students channeled their creativity by designing artwork featuring the Statue of Liberty, stars, eagles, flags and the number 250, bringing patriotic symbols to life through color, design and imagination.

Through hands on creative exploration, students are building critical thinking skills while connecting art, history and self expression in meaningful ways. This learning reflects the opportunities public schools provide for students to explore ideas deeply, apply their learning and grow as confident learners.✨

🌈💧 Science in Action at Learning Way Elementary!💧🌈

At #LearningWayElementarySchool's Summer Learning Camp, Ms. Icard's rising 4th graders put their curiosity to the test this week during an exciting experiment called walking water! #Students made predictions about whether colored water would travel from cup to cup using only a paper towel.

As they observed the colorful transformation unfold, students discovered how liquids can move from one cup to another in surprising ways, sparking curiosity, critical thinking and lots of excitement!💡

We love seeing our young scientists explore, question and learn through engaging, hands-on experiences at Summer Learning Camp.🔬✨
