Our new Ledges Elementary building will offer an important, daily block of time for TK-1st grade students called WIN (What I Need). During WIN, students are grouped together by similar skill areas with teachers and staff to provide targeted instruction, based on the needs of their group. Enjoy some facts about WIN! 🍏 Fact 1: Our Little Toreadors receive daily WIN time to develop their literacy and math skills. At key points in the year, students even have WIN for social-emotional learning! 🍎 Fact 2: During literacy WIN times, all hands are on deck! Our specials teachers, associates, and all teachers play a role in meeting the needs of our students during this time. 🍏 Fact 3: WIN groups are fluid and flexible as students’ needs change. Our teachers assess students frequently and use this data to create new groups as students’ skills progress.

On April 4, Boone Middle School’s 7th grade students went on a field trip to participate in the Teen Maze at the Boone County Fairgrounds! This interactive experience helped students understand and learn decision-making strategies for situations they may face in the future. Topics included saying no to drugs and alcohol, dealing with peer pressure, recognizing the differences between positive and negative relationships, babysitting, and even interviewing for a job. We would like to thank Ryan Titman and Scott Kelley, along with many other members of Boone and Story counties, for continuing this awesome opportunity for kids!
