Dr. Alex Jordan, a Growing Readers Specialist from FDRESA, presented Mrs. Welch with this special recognition. “This is all about sustainability and encouraging our teachers,” Dr. Jordan shared. “FDRESA wanted to do something special during Teacher Appreciation Week. Teachers are protecting civilization, and we appreciate all you do.”
Mrs. Welch, a registered nurse, teaches Introduction to Healthcare Science, Essentials of Healthcare, Nurse Aide Program, and a Tiger Pride segment at CHS. Mrs. Welch shared her gratitude for the award and added, “I feel fortunate to work alongside a supportive group of people at CHS.”
Dr. Mizell, CHS Principal, congratulated Mrs. Welch for this recognition and added, “We’re grateful to have someone with Mrs. Welch’s experience leading our students.”

While studying quadrilaterals, Ms. Selph's geometry classes made kites. Specs for a successful kite include- congruent opposite sides, 90 degree diagonals, congruent short sides' angles. The bonus was whether or not it actually flew. This is real life application of math.
