🌟Shiloh Harder - Middle School Math Instructional Facilitator - is a Core Values Champion for the Month of September.🌟
"Ever since Mr. Harder took his current role, he has worked tirelessly with teachers on curriculum and instruction in the math classroom at the middle school level. Go to any middle school and you will meet teachers with nothing but positive things to say about Mr. Harder. His professionalism and preparedness leading middle school math teachers is phenomenal. We started the year with two long term math substitutes. Mr. Harder worked with those individuals until he knew students were being taken care of every single day. In one class three different long-term substitutes attended and Mr. Harder modeled every day until the teacher was comfortable with the content.
On top of the amount of work he does for this district in curriculum, he planned for and prepped other adults to teach mathematics to our students. It was truly inspiring to watch him back in the classroom solely focused on giving our students the best possible education with their regular teacher on leave. He’s more than deserving of this recognition."
Mr. Harder, you are a true #ChampionForKids! #StaffCommittedtoExcellence

🌟Mr. Mark Dibrell is our Core Values Champion for the Month of September.🌟
"Mr. Dibrell drives a bus to and from Julia Lee Moore daily. Mr. Dibrell is a true champion for kids! When school started, the temperature was 100 degrees, so he brought a cooler of water bottles on his bus and had them ready as students loaded the bus to keep them cool. He did this with his own money. Today a student left their lunch behind on the bus, so after he was finished with his morning route, he made a special trip back to JLM to drop off the student's lunch to him so he wouldn't be upset. Every single day Mr. Dibrell goes above and beyond to serve our students!" Mr. Dibrell, you are a true #ChampionForKids! #StaffCommittedtoExcellence

Food Friday! Did you know that CPSD has a Culinary Arts program through the Conway Area Career Center? The Career Center hosts this opportunity for not only Conway students but for students from 12 surrounding school districts. Recently our Culinary Arts students had the opportunity to learn from our local Charcuterie business, Harvest & Graze, on different types of delicious foods to use as well as incredible techniques to provide a display pleasing to the eye! The students did an amazing job at using their creative culinary skills to design their own charcuterie graze box! Thank you to high school teacher Ms. Tell and team for providing these opportunities of learning valuable skills for our students! #ChampionsForKids
