🐔🧬Learning comes to life in Mr. Brandon Walker's 8th Grade Science class at Simpson Central!

Students explored the genetics of chickens as part of their lesson on artificial selection and natural selection–using Punnett squares to study how certain traits are passed down and how humans have selectively bred chickens over time. 🐓📚

👏 We're proud to celebrate Mrs. Taylor White Brown, an Extraordinary Educator at Simpson Central! Last school year, she was selected by Curriculum Associates for her outstanding work in the classroom.

As part of this honor, Mrs. Brown is sharing her passion and expertise on a national stage–through a featured blog post on Curriculum Associates' website (Middle School Student Engagement Strategies for Today's Classrooms) and an episode of their Extraordinary Educators Podcast.

In both, she offers practical, creative, and inspiring ideas that teachers can use to engage middle school students in learning.

Did you know? Missing 10% of school days–just 2 days per month–means a student is considered chronically absent.

September is Attendance Awareness Month, a reminder that being in class every day matters. When students are present, they're more likely to stay on track, achieve their goals, and succeed beyond the classroom. 🌟

Let's work together to make every day count! ❤️💛

Are you a retired teacher who still has a passion for the classroom? Would you consider teaching for half the school year or sharing the year with a trusted colleague on an alternating schedule?

The Simpson County School District is launching a new opportunity for retired teachers to return to the classroom part-time – bringing experience, energy, and heart to our students.

✅ Teach for half the year or alternate with a colleague
✅ Collaborate and share ideas with another experienced teacher
✅ Pass on wisdom, ignite curiosity, and help shape young minds again
