Community Outreach
Project:
Midway College KEA-SP will celebrate Read Across America on
February 26,
2010 at
Northern Elementary in Scott County. We need volunteers to make
this a successful event. Several students have worked hard on
leveling the books we already possess for this event. We need
more books in order to give every child in the school a book to own.
There are approximately 450 children grades P-5 in the school. A
large Cat in the Hat costume has been reserved for the event. We
need a volunteer to wear the Cat in the Hat costume as well as the
Thing I and Thing II costumes. We also need volunteers to read to
students, transport books, and set up/clean up on the day of the
event. This is an annual event and those who have been involved in
Read Across America can tell it you it is fun to be a reader and
even more fun to see the excitement on the part of the children.
KEA-SP Tee Shirts:
New this year, we have short sleeved tee shirts in a fashionable
orange color for sale at $10.00 each. These shirts are on campus in
Marrs.
Clearance sale: KEA-SP Long and Warm t-shirts
Long sleeved Midway College KEA-SP tee shirts are available for sale
in the Teacher Education Department on the second floor of Marrs.
The shirts are brown with either pink or turquoise writing (S, M, L,
XL). The shirts originally cost $17.00, but to balance out our
KEA-SP account, we are offering the remaining shirts for $7.00 per
shirt (plus postage if the shirts are mailed). Limited sizes are
available. Please contact
acritchfield@midway.edu or your site administrator if you want
to buy one. These shirts are an excellent way to show pride in your
membership in the award winning Midway College KEA-SP! Also, we like
to wear Midway apparel when we go to the schools for Read Across
America.
KEA-SP Newsletter:
The KEA-SP Newsletter, latest edition is ready. Thank you Nicole
Ackerman for writing such a fine newsletter. Please continue to
submit articles, photographs, and pertinent information to her for
the next edition (nackerman@midway.edu)
Upcoming Events:
Check your emails regularly for upcoming special events, checkpoint
dates and other important deadlines, and professional development
opportunities. The KEA-SP officers are working on PD requests and
finding presenters. Several topics have been requested including
math, social studies, and reading.
On April the 12th,
13th, 14th and 15th the teachers
are going to have a review for end of the year final exams given at
CCMS (Carrollton Middle School). They are in need of “future
teachers“ that would like to watch teachers teach, help students,
run papers, and possibly take over for a portion of the time, so the
teachers can run to the restroom etc.
The teachers are
going to be teaching for four days without planning, so the students
can get extra practice in their areas of need. This opportunity
would be great experience for some of our “future teachers.” Midway
College Teacher Education students may not be able to volunteer all
day every day, but if some could commit to a whole day that would be
very helpful in scheduling. Contact Lori Henderson at
lhenderson@midway.edu if
you are interested.
