Our five classes of second graders have been collaborating on a Civic Participation project. Since they began the project, they learned about what it means to make a difference, how to check playgrounds for safety, how to make recommendations, and how to put it all together into a presentation to use their voices.
This morning, they hosted a "Town Hall" event for the Village of Evans Mills Mayor Mr. Boucher, IRCSD Superintendent Mr. Decker, Assistant Superintendent Mrs. Matteson, Curriculum Director Mrs. Culbertson, IRCSD Board of Education member Mrs. Tuttle, and our building principal Mrs. McCullouch.
In their presentation, students shared their observations about the Jack Williams Park; what they love about it, what needs some work, how they can help, and ways to make it a better place for our community. We are SO proud of the work these students, their teachers, and district Science/Social Studies coach Mrs. Trickey on this project.
We ran into technical difficulties while recording the presentation and will record next week to share so that their ideas can reach a wider audience.
