Did you know that chicken is the number one source of protein consumed by humans? Did you know that Georgia is one of the top four poultry producing states?
Students in Basic Ag learned this information and more when experts from Claxton Poultry shared about the poultry industry. Thank you to Mr. Steve Snyder and Mr. Eric Greene for spending time with us today!

Teachers received Project Based Learning training from Molly Bestge Cultivate 21 CEO. This professional learning opportunity is the result of a $20,000 grant received by Claxton Middle School. Teachers were able to experience a PBL lesson as a participant/student. They played the role of members on an innovation team. Their task was to compete in an idea festival competition. They were challenged to make an existing idea better through iteration, ideation, and redesign. After this experience, teachers created a PBL unit to implement in their classrooms. We appreciate our educators investing in this opportunity, and we are excited about what your learning will bring to our ECCSS students, staff, and community! Participants in the training were Kelsey Stephens (CMS), Shannon Yurek (CMS), Phillip Sapp (CMS), Betty Smith (CMS), Stephanie Myers (CMS), Megan Liberatore (CMS), Jennifer Price (CMS), Lindsay Minis (CES), Ellen Brown (CMS), Kelly LaSala (CES), and Samantha Keyfauver (ECCSS)
