Frayser Community Schools was informed the student had been out of school since Aug. 16 due to an unrelated issue before being diagnosed with coronavirus. The student’s death comes as pediatric cases in the county continue to rise.
In the spirit of doing , we did a new thing at the TTC today. Mr. Marcus, Computer Information Technology Instructor at Tennessee College of Applied Technology- Memphis was our in person guest speaker during today's STEM class. He talked with students from Frayser Community Schools about careers in IT. We used Microsoft Teams Intelligent Communications to record the session which will be shared with our Shelby County Schools - SCS partners at Sheffield Career and Technology Center during our virtual meeting next week. We really love a good partnership around here! Thanks, Mr. Curry!!!
