MMS Staff Spotlight
Congratulations to Ms. Karmorreya Brown for securing a Bright Ideas Grant form Jackson EMC. Ms. Brown teaches Science Enrichment (AgSTEM). The Jackson EMC Grant is supporting the construction of greenhouses where students will explore horticulture and aquaponics. The grant will also help expand the school's chicken coop, offering more hands-on agricultural learning opportunities. Additionally, McConnell MS plans to offer Farm to Table experiences--where students will grow, prepare, and serve food. The addition of a stove for culinary experiments and a 3D printer for engineering projects will further enhance these activities.
