Learning and excitement through the summer

Pre-K learning at Williams

It is the end of June and the final week for several of our summer camps. Students have learned so much during these four weeks from photography to drama techniques, to painting, and athletic fundamentals, just to name few. We thank all of the parents that signed children up to participate in the Summer Enrichment programs. We hope everyone had a fun and enriching experience. 

Music Camp

Our staff members are also learning new concepts as many remain involved in staff development throughout the summer.  We thank the KNEA for offering workshops this summer that teachers enjoyed attending. This summer we have also been teaching educators locally and nationally about the innovative strategies we are using.  As examples, French Middle School was highlighted on ways we use our new 1:1 technology program. Click here to watch the clip. 

Football Camp at Hummer Sports Park

Topeka staff will be teaching others ways to have a trauma sensitive school by presenting at the Trauma Sensitive School Team Summit at the Kauffman Center where I will serve as the keynote, and Mrs. McKenzie, the educational leader for the early childhood programs and her staff member, Ms. Keefe, were published in a local magazine on the topic of trauma this month. Through the various outlets our educators are teaching other educators ways to support students in any school district.

June has been a month filled with so many new learning opportunities.  Thank you for helping us have a great start to the summer and happy July 4th

Thank you for supporting Topeka Public Schools!
