🌊🐟 Taking STEAM Beyond the Classroom! 🦈

Professional learning took our Park teachers to the Georgia coast this weekend! Christina Vinson, Trina McClung, and Meghan Hagan participated in the Guy Harvey Conservation Education Program at 4-H Camp Jekyll, gaining hands-on experiences that connect science, environmental conservation, and real-world learning.

From studying sharks and lionfish to seine net fishing, exploring marshlands, and hiking maritime forests, our teachers experienced firsthand how Georgia’s coastal ecosystems connect to global conservation efforts.

🌟 We are proud to celebrate all three educators earning their Guy Harvey Conservation Educator certification, opening the door for Park Elementary to be recognized as a Guy Harvey Conservation School!

This experience reflects our commitment to meaningful STEAM professional learning—equipping teachers with new knowledge, authentic experiences, and innovative ways to bring environmental responsibility to life for our Tiger Cubs.

At Park, we don’t just teach STEAM. We experience it, explore it, and bring it back to our students! 🐯💚

🏁🐯 Who says STEAM learning stops when the school day ends? Not at Park! 🚗💨

Tonight, our ASEP Tiger Cubs took STEAM learning beyond the classroom and straight to the racetrack with our ASEP Boxcar Race!

From designing and building to decorating, testing, and racing, our students put Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math into motion! Through creativity, problem-solving, teamwork, and a little friendly competition, our Tiger Cubs showed that meaningful learning can happen anywhere—even after the final bell rings! 🏎️🏆

💚 A special thank-you to ASEP Director Catherin Swetnam Toney and our incredible ASEP Team for extending opportunities for hands-on learning beyond the school day, and to our families for cheering on every racer!

🐯 At Park, STEAM doesn’t stop at dismissal—the possibilities keep racing forward!

🐯📚 TEACHERS WHO LEARN = STUDENTS WHO GROW! ❤️✨

At Park, we believe great teaching is never finished—it keeps growing!

Our teachers spent time learning together, watching great instruction in action, asking questions, reflecting, and strengthening their craft alongside Park Instructional Coach Jenny Goodwin and West Georgia RESA Regional Literacy Coach Jennifer Barbee.

Through modeled UFLI lessons in kindergarten and first grade, our teachers dug deeper into instructional routines, pacing, student engagement, and effective feedback—all with one goal in mind:

❤️ Getting better for our Tiger Cubs.

We love seeing educators who are just as excited about learning as the students they teach!

📸 Picture it at Park: Teachers learning. Teachers growing. Students benefiting.

🐯 Park is the Place to Be!
