Rationale:
Murfreesboro City Schools would like to thank the General Mills Foundation for a $5,000 grant. Proceeds from the grant will provide financial support for the following outreach initiatives:
Indigent Care Fund, Backpack Food Program, and Family Engagement activities. Congratulations to Corynn York, music teacher at Hobgood, who was named the Tennessee Outstanding Music Educator by the Tennessee Music Education Association. Corynn is a remarkable educator, and we are blessed to have her. Erma Siegel and Bradley joined Discovery School and Overall Creek to become state STEM-Designated Schools. https://www.tsin.org/current-designated-stem-schools has a listing of current STEM schools. Of the 42 schools that have received the designation, MCS has four. The accomplishment is even more notable since the designation is open to all elementary, middle, and high schools, both private and public, across the state. Congratulations to Sandy Scheele and the Nutrition Team. The CHOW bus program is featured in the June edition of Eating Well Magazine. MCS is thrilled to be chosen as their Food with a Purpose feature article. Since the COVID crisis, over 80,000 meals have been served by the CHOW bus program. Congratulations to Justin Lattimore on receiving the SCORE Tennessee Educator Fellowship for the 2020-2021 school year. Mr. Lattimore will be a part of a thirty (30) educator cohort which is intended to build knowledge of education policy issues and provides educators the chance to lead their own student-focused advocacy. The Board recognized Dr. Loyd for his retirement from the system as principal at Northfield Elementary, Dr. Mark Gonyea who will be the new principal at Northfield Elementary, and future board member Jimmy Richardson who was in the audience. |
