Next Level Tigers Academy officially launched on Monday! Started by our very own librarian, Mrs. Richardson.. This program is designed to help students grow in leadership skills, career readiness, and personal development. We kicked things off with an inspiring message from, our very own, PE Teacher, Coach Belyeu, and Judge Ruby D. Clark, who encouraged our Tigers to rise as future leaders. The journey has just begun and the impact will last a lifetime! #NextLevelTigers #LeadershipInAction #FutureLeaders #CareerReady #TigerPride #StudentSuccess IG: @jefcoed FB: Jefferson County Schools

Collaboration in action! Our librarian, Mrs. Richardson, teamed up with Mrs. Hogan and her 7th-grade ELA students for a fun and engaging lesson on citing textual evidence. Using a short passage about Drake and Kendrick Lamar, students practiced using sentence starters to support their answers with strong evidence and they loved it! In addition, students learned how to find reliable evidence using the Alabama Virtual Library. #ReadingIsLit #PurpleTigersRead #LiteracyInAction #TeamworkInEducation #AVL @jefcoed Jefferson County Schools
