Alumni Back to School Night

The Westhills Elementary School Girls STEAM Team kicked off the year on September 12th by designing t-shirts and voting on a favorite.   There are 27 members of the club, which meets once a month after school to work on projects related to science, technology, engineering, arts, and math.

Science Lab teacher Suzie Presson, 6th grade teacher Vicki Beerman and school librarian Caitlyn Crowder are the club sponsors, while Laura Smith, Assistant Director of Programming & Outreach for the Marshall County Memorial Library plans and leads the activities each month.

“It’s so important to get young girls interested in STEAM at an early age, so that it gives them the confidence to go into these fields,” stated Ms. Smith.

SkillsUSA Meeting on Monday, September 16th

Middle and high school students across the district are using Finch programmable robots to learn coding. Students learn Python coding by programming the "bird's" embedded lights, sensors, and motors. Schools received "flocks" of the Finch robots through a Tennessee Science Innovation Network Grant. Forrest students are shown programming the birds this week.

Employees in talent acquisition, industrial maintenance, and production from Ultium Cells in Spring Hill visited Mr. Adams' classes to share information on the EV battery company, job opportunities and internships, job responsibilities, interview skills, and much more.
