Spotted At ZESD 6
- Mrs. Matthews and Mr. Brienen both utilized highly effective data-to-differentiation strategies in their classrooms this week. Both teachers make it a regular practice to communicate student/classroom data to students while using it to adjust their instruction.
- Education Plus program directors headed to West Elementary for an exciting workshop with the youth leadership team and their advisors, celebrating their role in the Realize the Dream movement. They jumped into fun activities to boost communication, tackle problem-solving, build confidence, spark teamwork, and inspire significant action!
- Tuesday morning was an exciting kickoff for the breakfast smoothie initiative at both ZESD 6 middle schools! Students enjoyed a delicious, handcrafted, healthy morning treat—so popular that it disappeared quickly! A refreshing way to start the day!
- On Friday, January 31, Lakeview Principal Kraemer recognized students during their Student of the Month recognition event during lunch. Winners were joined by family members and received ice cream and a certificate.
