For the past couple of days, Ms. Bowers' marketing class has been participating in a Gallery Walk as part of their Introduction to Economics Unit. The primary objective of this engaging activity is to deepen students' comprehension of economics, foster the development of critical thinking skills, and promote active engagement. Students will use the knowledge gained from this activity and apply it to their upcoming Resort Marketing Economic Research Project, scheduled to begin later this week.
Here are our Dress Up Days for both elementary and junior/senior high school students for Homecoming 2023! We are excited to see all of our students participate. Additional guidance has been provided for Wed/Thursday at CHS. WED: "Dress Like Your Type" - you dress like who your dream date would be. THURS: "Rhyme Without A Reason" ... you dress as two things that rhyme but aren't related at all. For example, a ballerina and John Cena. If students cannot think of a good rhyme, they can just dress as a duo. If you have questions about the Dress Up Days, please contact Elementary, Amanda PeGan (ampegan@colonschools.org) & Jr/Sr High, Ann Vinson (avinson@colonschools.org)
