🍎👩🏫 Inspiring Future Educators, One Classroom at a Time! 📚
Ms. Melody Redd’s Teaching as a Profession II (TAP II) students and FCCLA members from Shelbyville Central High School are gaining valuable hands-on experience at Southside Elementary School while making a difference for young learners! ❤️
Through weekly job shadowing, students assist mentor teachers in various classrooms. They also partnered with kindergarten teachers Ms. Feck & Ms. Melson to celebrate National Be a Teacher Day, an event designed to spark interest in #education as a future career. To prepare, TAP II students designed and created their own teaching-themed shirts! 👕🍎
During the event, #students read books about teaching, helped kindergarteners explore the qualities of a great teacher and led a fun game of “Principal Says” to help students practice listening, communication and following directions. The kindergarteners also received teacher-themed goodie bags! 📚🎁
TAP II students and FCCLA members also donated shoe-tying practice tools and specially designed shoelaces to help kindergarteners develop this important skill. In December, they plan to host an ice cream party to celebrate students who have learned to tie their shoes and give them a chance to show off their accomplishments! 👟🍦
From exploring future careers to building essential life skills, these students are putting their knowledge into action and making a positive impact at Southside Elementary!🌟

🌟 Student Voices. Student Perspectives. Student Leadership. 🌟
The Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council recently gathered at the Bedford County Schools Central Office to kick off another year of #student #leadership, conversation and collaboration! 💬✨
With both returning and new members joining the council, #students had the opportunity to get to know one another through an icebreaker question: “If you could instantly become really good at one thing, anything at all, school-related or not, what would you choose and why?” Their answers sparked some fun conversations and gave students a chance to learn more about the peers they’ll be working alongside throughout the year.
Students also met with Superintendent Tim Harwell, Assistant Superintendent of Instruction Sandy Sorrells, Assistant Superintendent of Operations Neil Watson and Director of Communications Carol Garrette. They then toured the Central Office to learn more about the different departments and how each one supports BCS schools and students.
Throughout the school year, these student leaders will have opportunities to share their perspectives, provide input on district matters and help ensure that student voices are part of the conversation. 🗣️⭐
We’re looking forward to hearing what this group has to say and seeing the impact their voices will have throughout the year!
