Today @SouthProvSchool we finished our celebration of Black History Month w/Soul Food Friday. Farmer led this, w/many Ts helping & contributing yummy food. Mr. Freddie made one of everyone’s favorites of the day- pinto beans w/turkey necks! @jgriffith352 @AGHoulihan @UCPSNC

This week @SouthProvSchool FIVE students earned credits in @oldenboi_84’s distance learning lab! Grateful for our math tutor, Mr. Adelhardt, for his collaboration w/Mr. Olden & his schedule flexibility to meet student needs. #RethinkingAltEd @jgriffith352 @AGHoulihan @UCPSNC

Yesterday @SouthProvSchool students and I learned about local Black history from @oldenboi_84. Not only were the students completely engaged, but they all expressed interest in learned more! #RethinkingAltEd #BlackHistoryMonth @jgriffith352 @AGHoulihan @UCPSNC

Got to love @jgriffith352’s energy & willingness to rep @SouthProvSchool at the Polar Plunge event to raise money for Special Olympics Union County! I had fun watching the shenanigans and *might* join in next year… #RethinkingAltEd #TeamUCPS @AGHoulihan @UCPSNC

Coming up @SouthProvSchool is another Partnering for Success event! This time @PattonTherapy will present about teen anxiety and share tools families can use to support their children. #RethinkingAltEd @jgriffith352 @AGHoulihan @UCPSNC

A little Facebook scrolling gave me a fun idea for @SouthProvSchool Ts coming back to work after the Super Bowl: jeans if the Patriots won & sweats if the Seahawks won! We appreciated the comfy start to the week! #RethinkingAltEd #PhoenixFamily @jgriffith352 @AGHoulihan @UCPSNC

Last week @SouthProvSchool Ms. Mohr created a fantastic door to highlight #BlackHistoryMonth. Everyone loves checking it out! #RethinkingAltEd @jgriffith352 @AGHoulihan @UCPSNC

Here’s a short video from the recent Partnering for Success event @SouthProvSchool. Thank you to Healthy Blue NC and speaker Arkevious Armstrong for getting us fired up for second semester! #RethinkingAltEd @jgriffith352 @AGHoulihan @UCPSNC

Last week @SouthProvSchool our own Ms. Boulware provided any student who needed them a blanket and/or a pair of gloves to stay toasty warm during the recent bad weather. I’m sad to have no photos of her generosity! #RethinkingAltEd @jgriffith352 @AGHoulihan @UCPSNC

Thank you @RevBentionSr and @BashawnHarris for joining us!

Yesterday @SouthProvSchool we were blessed to have @ArkInspire17 energize & reset us! He shared the importance of connection to build trust & then relationships & to see the worth of all Ss who walk through our doors. #RethinkingAltEd @jgriffith352 @AGHoulihan @UCPSNC

Today @SouthProvSchool Ts are being treated to a hot cocoa bar & mini cake bar. Mateo made delicious homemade gingerbread cookies to add to the goodies! It’s a small token of appreciation before break for all their hard work. #RethinkingAltEd @jgriffith352 @AGHoulihan @UCPSNC

A new round of art from Reinecke’s classes are gracing the crossover hall @SouthProvSchool! Such a happy discovery to find what the students created and chose to display! Even better is getting to ask the Ss about the project! #RethinkingAltEd @jgriffith352 @AGHoulihan @UCPSNC

Yesterday @SouthProvSchool our SAVE Promise Club went class to class w/a Hot Cocoa Cart. They explained the purpose of the club to all & shared how they hoped to model kindness by sharing a treat of cocoa & cookies w/each S. #RethinkingAltEd @jgriffith352 @AGHoulihan @UCPSNC

Last week @SouthProvSchool we were able to celebrate Mr. Edwards as he retires from @UCPSNC. Not only has he served as an admin here, but he also supported me and @jgriffith352 as we started our tenure as an admin team. We appreciate him so much! #RethinkingAltEd @AGHoulihan

Yesterday @SouthProvSchool Ss in Desale’s class learned about key features of quadratics after a warmup factoring polynomials. Ss were able to make connections w/other types of functions & graphs to deepen their understanding! #RethinkingAltEd @jgriffith352 @AGHoulihan @UCPSNC
