| Innovation Academy News | |
Eighth grade students at Innovation Academy in Kingsport, Tennessee, finished up their first STEM I class this week with STEM Professional Dr. Diane Nelson from East Tennessee State University. Her group of students learned about tardigrades and their habitats. They also constructed sieve plates, collected their moss, and observed the tardigrades in action with their microscopic neighbors...rotifers, nematodes, and mites.
We are in the middle of our second transdisciplinary unit, Community and Communication. Sixth grade is compiling iBooks to act as a regional guide to our Tri-Cities community. Seventh grade is using the theme of the Olympics to discuss region, immigration, and competition. Eighth grade is using the backdrop of Colonial America to design, create, and produce a news broadcast pertinent to the era. Exciting things are happening within these walls. Come by and check us out!

| Miller Perry 4th Graders Take On Cardboard Challenge | |
After a wonderful visit from Ruth Leonard, STEM/Science Coach, the fourth grade at Miller Perry Elementary decided to take the "Cardboard Challenge". We worked in our STEM Lab for three days to complete our projects to display at the Farmer's Market in Kingsport on October 5. After working at school, the students took home their cardboard creations to add the finishing touches. In the picture is an example of the Titanic made by Samantha Bell, Erika McCord, Caleb McKeehan, Devin Hutchins, and Andrew Gunther. |

Colonial Heights Middle Hosts Parent Involvement Night
| |
On Tuesday, September 24th, Colonial Heights Middle School hosted Parent Involvement Night. Parents visited their child's teachers who gave a sample of a Common Core activity and required the parents to "work it out". The purpose of the evening was to demonstrate the type of activities that teachers are utilizing as they increase rigor and to help engage parental assistance with academics. |

| Rock Springs Elementary School Kicks Off EPIC Campaign | |
Students at Rock Springs Elementary School held a special program and pep rally to kick-off the school's EPIC program. EPIC stands for Encourage, Protect, Invest, and Connect. This countywide initiative helps students learn that it takes everyone to become the "Power of One" over bullying, harassment, and other negative factors that impact a positive school experience. Students created and performed a skit where treasure seekers find a map with a mysterious location. As the students work their way through the EPIC clues they discover that this mystery location contained a very special guest, Miss Kingsport 2014, Autumn Leigh Brown. Miss Kingsport talked to the students about the Power of One and being successful in all they do. The Sullivan South Rebel Band was on hand to help cheer the students along their journey and lead the entire student body in the pep rally. The entire student body pledged to build an EPIC school.
