Just spent an amazing morning with fantastic high school and middle school math teachers in Derby! Not afraid to ask the tough questions related to mathematics education! @DerbySchoolsKS@ksdehq @KsCommissioner @BJohnsonGrad
Super proud of Cooper students and staff for achieving a State Challenge Award in closing the achievement gap in 5th grade math. Only nine schools in the state recognized in this area. State Board Member Kathy Busch presented the award. @DerbySchoolsKS@ksdehq@CooperEagles260

Took my kids along to vote. The officials were so nice-answered their questions & created an awesome experience for them! So fun to talk them through this process & have some deep conversations about civic engagement! Love these kids & our community! 💚

Park Hill Elementary teacher Tyler Shirley is incorporating technology into PE. Derby Bowl delivers an in-school bowling kit to all elementary schools to be used for two weeks. Shirley has students bring iPads from classrooms and use an app to track their score. @PH_SandyRusher
