🎉 Investing in Our Leaders, Strengthening Our Schools! 🎉
Today, our principals, assistant principals and supervisors came together to prepare for the 2026–2027 school year by completing Youth Mental Health First Aid training.
Led in person by three trainers from the Tennessee Department of Education, participants completed the course, passed the certification exam and are now officially Youth Mental Health First Aid certified! 💚
This nationally recognized training equips our leaders with the skills to recognize, understand and respond to signs of mental health challenges in young people, helping create safe, supportive and caring school communities.

🏗️📐 Engineering in Action! 📐🏗️
Rising 4th graders in Mr. Jason Boyette's class at #ThomasMagenetSchool's Summer Learning Camp recently put their engineering skills to the test with a hands-on building challenge!
Using only index cards and tape, #students designed and constructed towers and bridges, applying creativity, teamwork and problem-solving throughout the process. They even held a friendly competition to see which team could build the tallest tower! 🏆
Students also tested the strength of their bridges by seeing if they could safely support a toy car without collapsing. 🚗✨
Through planning, designing and testing their creations, students explored real-world engineering concepts while having fun along the way.
