✨ Celebrating Inspiring Americans! ✨

Students at #CommunityMiddleSchool's Summer Learning Camp created posters highlighting their favorite Americans, learning about individuals who have made an impact through history, #leadership and inspiration.

Students worked hard planning, designing and completing their posters, then proudly posed with their finished work to share what they learned. 📚🎨

The day also included some extra fun as staff joined in by dressing up as inspiring figures, including Amanda Lemmons as Rosie the Riveter, Keisha Banks as herself (an Inspiring Math Teacher), Jeannie Keating as herself (an Inspiring Math Teacher) and Julie Toombs as Tennessee Volunteer Heath Schuler. 👏✨

Through experiences like this, #students are encouraged to explore ideas, express creativity and connect learning across subjects. These opportunities reflect how public schools provide meaningful, engaging experiences that help students grow as learners and thinkers. 🌟

🖍️ Chalk, Crafts, and Creativity! 🖍️

At #CommunityMiddleSchool's Summer Learning Camp, Ms. Kendall Seibers and students in the CDC classroom enjoyed patriotic-themed activities that sparked creativity and expression.

Students took their learning outside to create colorful sidewalk chalk designs, then continued the fun indoors with hands-on craft projects in the classroom.

Mrs. Toombs showed off her best Thomas Edison impression, while Mrs. Lemmons lit up the room as a lightbulb. Together, they helped #students shine a light on one of America’s greatest inventors in a way that was both memorable and full of smiles.

From costumes to creativity, students got a fun reminder that learning can be exciting, engaging and full of bright ideas! ✨🔬
