✨ Student Voice Matters! ✨

This week, the Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council visited the Central Office for an energizing conversation with Superintendent Dr. Tammy Garrett, Assistant Superintendent Tim Harwell and Director of Communications Carol Garrette.

These incredible #student leaders shared honest insights and bold ideas on issues that directly impact their school experiences such as:

📈 Attendance incentives to help boost daily attendance

📵 How potential cell phone bans would affect students and what supports they’d need

💰 Funding priorities from a student perspective

👗 Dress code feedback and ways to make it fair and inclusive

Their commitment to improving our schools is inspiring, and their voices play a vital role in shaping decisions that affect #students across the district. 💬 We’re proud of their leadership, perspective and passion for positive change!

🌸🌱 Kindergarten wrapped up their plant unit in the sweetest way — by creating edible flowers!

As they built their tasty creations, students talked about each plant part and its job. Learning is always more fun (and delicious!) when you can eat it! 😄🌼
