🧪🥼 Our Georgia Connections Academy K–2 Little Scientists brought science to life during a LiveLesson session! 🔎✨

Inspired by Ada Twist, Scientist by Andrea Beaty, our youngest learners put on their scientist gear, asked BIG questions, made predictions, and discovered the fun of learning through science! 🧠💡

From interactive story time to exciting experiments, our little scientists were busy observing, wondering, testing, and sharing their discoveries alongside their teachers and families. At Georgia Connections Academy, learning comes to life—even through a screen!

✨ Staff Spotlight: Mrs. Brittney McKenney

🌱 Every student deserves to feel seen, valued, and supported - and Mrs. McKenney knows just how powerful that can be.

As Georgia Connections Academy's new Director of Federal Programs and Community Engagement, Mrs. McKenney's passion for education began in second grade when she was the new student in class. Nervous
and unsure of where she fit in, she was welcomed with warmth, compassion, and genuine care by her teacher. That simple act of kindness gave her the confidence to thrive—and more than 20 years later, that teacher still celebrates her successes and encourages her along the way.

Today, Mrs. McKenney is committed to creating that same sense of belonging for every Georgia Connections Academy student and family. Whether she's strengthening family engagement, supporting federal programs, or collaborating with educators across the state, she leads with one guiding question: How does this improve the experience and success of our students and families?

🏅 Fun fact: Mrs. McKenney is a proud Disney enthusiast and an avid runner! One of her favorite accomplishments was completing 48.6 miles in four days at Walt Disney World - including a 5K, 10K, half-marathon, and full marathon.
