Almost 100 educators, many from NKC and multiple surrounding districts, attended training on the Monday evening before winter break to enhance our learning around vocabulary & morphology instruction! Thank you @hand2mind for offering this free and helpful literacy PD opportunity!

The energy and enthusiasm was contagious yesterday morning as Winnwood Wildcats celebrated students and classes of the month for their positive behavior, exhibiting POG competencies, highest attendance and more! The student helpers were amazing! @WinnwoodRocks @NKCSchools

Mrs. Roddy using her learner’s mindset to jump in and co-teach and be coached by our literacy consultant, @SundayCummins @GashlandStars @NKCSchools
