Summer writing workshops eyed
By Mindy Abel,
Assistant Superintendent Dr. Joyce Phillips discussed the summer writing workshop for teachers during the meeting of the Wa-Nee School Board of Trustees Monday night, July 22.
The goal of the workshop is to continue improvement within the Indiana Academic Standards for English and Language Arts. Teachers will be involved in an applied skills workshop during January and February and a writing workshop demonstration during February and April.
A week-long summer seminar will then be conducted for �Unlocking Star Writers,� which will help with writing skills in students along with English/Language Arts.
So far, 19 teachers are signed up who will attend the workshops then come back and be leaders in their own schools.
Also during the meeting, the board approved to reinstate the drug testing for the 2002-2003 school year for all athletes on Aug. 1. The board would like to meet with the Drug Awareness Committee to involve student drivers and students involved in extracurricular activities.
Wa-Nee Schools will be involved in the Child Nutrition Program for the 2002-2003 school year as it has been in the past. The agreement will be renewed through the federal government for the school lunch program, free lunches and breakfast.
The school board will meet Aug.12, at 6:30 p.m. in the Wa-Nee Administration Building, north on Ind. 19. Meetings are open to the public.
