Mrs. Taylor, the 6th grade Career Investigstions teacher, finds creative ways to inspire students to try different careers. First, students explore health sciences. Secondly, while exploring business management and administration, they learned and used skills to manage the day to day operations of a coffee shop online. These future managers practiced decision making, customer service, purchasing supplies, creating a good product, and more!
Way to go Mrs. Taylor! 🧡🧡

Big congrats to our Walker-Grant Band! They attended Music In the Parks competition at Busch Gardens on Saturday and competed against tons of talented bands. They earned “Superior” which is the absolute highest rating and came in 2nd place out all the MS bands competing in Class 1.
