Livsey Elementary
• On September 16, Livsey held its second annual Think, Stretch, Grow Pep Rally. They discussed the importance of the Growth Targets and Goals for MAP testing, celebrated students who completed 50 percent or more of their summer packets, and students got to tell what “Growth Mindset” means to them in a video produced by two of Livsey’s outstanding teachers.

Smoke Rise Elementary
• The Aeroponics Tower Garden is blooming with kale and bibb lettuce. STEM teacher Ms. Bernardette Cummings’ vision is for the garden to sustain a salad bar for the Smoke Rise cafeteria. She would also like to donate agricultural products to local food banks. The garden is giving students the chance to learn about the engineering design process, as well as take part in community service projects.

Tucker High
