Stack it up!

What is happening in PE at R. L. Young?

Students were surprised today to find that Coach Stephens had a new activity lined up for everyone...Cup Stacking. Watch the cup stacking world record holder in the video clip. Pretty cool, huh? This YOUTUBE video may not be viewable on campus.
 
Sixth graders try their hand at cup stacking...

Thanks, Coach for always looking for new and exciting things to do with our students. It may look like "play" but there is a lot of learning going on!

The Story of Ferdinand

     Regan G. and Mikella F., Two Talladega High School students and members of the FCCLA Club, helped design a program that addresses bullying AND accepting yourself. The program was built around a book entitled, "The Story of Ferdinand" by Munro Leaf. In an email to me, Regan states, " What our program aims to do is teach children that we are all different and not to make fun of someone because they are different". 

     I had the pleasure of reading this book to 1st and 2nd graders prior to the presentation. The children were very receptive to these high school students and the message they shared. They especially liked that they wore costumes to portray the characters in the book.

     This program fit right into our efforts to help educate students on what bullying looks like and how it can be addressed at school.
Kudos to Career Tech Director Mrs. Turner, Career Tech teacher Kim Mitchell, Regan, and Mikella!  We appreciate all of your efforts.

Do the "Honor Roll Wave"...

I LOVE Honor Roll Days...

My faculty and I don't mind the extra work it takes to prepare for Honor Roll Assemblies. They are hosted after the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th six weeks. The last assembly is AWARDS DAY! We know that these days of celebration serve as motivation to keep students moving forward. It also allows teachers to see how their previous students are doing. I like having an overall picture of the progress of our student body. At the end of the ceremony, I ask students to participate in the Honor Roll Wave. Here are some shots of many happy students.

 

 

 

 

Congratulations to everyone who walked away with something to be proud of...we are blessed with great kids (and parents) at R. L. Young!
