We know sending your little one to school is a big step. But did you know that attending PreK is the single biggest predictor of Kindergarten readiness in our district?
We recently reviewed the benchmark scores for our current Kindergartners to assess the impact of our program. The results are incredible! Compared to students who didn't attend PreK, our PreK grads:
✅ Knew 63% more letter sounds on the first day of Kindergarten.
✅ Were reading words 38% faster by Winter.
✅ Are significantly more likely to be "Low Risk" and on track for success.
Let's get them ready to read, learn, and grow!

Meigs CTE recently attended the National ACTE Conference in Nashville, where the focus centered on national collaboration, networking, and innovation in Career and Technical Education. In addition to participating in industry-led sessions, the team had opportunities to meet Shark Tank participants and hear from keynote speakers Amanda Brinkman—who reminded us that “learning happens when we are doing”—and Chris Gardner, author of The Pursuit of Happyness.
Faculty and staff are currently representing Meigs County at the East Tennessee Federal Programs Conference! 🎓
They are diving into valuable sessions focused on strategies to better serve our students. A major highlight so far has been hearing from keynote speaker Gerry Brooks! His message on building a positive school culture really resonated with each of the participants.
They are soaking up the inspiration (and the laughs!) and look forward to bringing these great ideas back home!

🌟 Meigs County PreK: Celebrating Curiosity & Critical Thinking! 🌟
We're proud of the engaging learning happening in our PreK classrooms! Here's a quick look at what we've been exploring this week:
🍃 Scientists in the Classroom
Our students are deep into seasonal science!
We've been studying leaves, learning that they are the food-makers for trees and observing the veins that carry water.
We felt the difference between smooth, soft leaves and dry, crunchy ones, which led to discussions about how things decompose in nature.
🌉 Engineers in Training
We used the story of the Gingerbread Boy to practice vital skills!
Students brainstormed how he could cross the water, settling on solutions like a boat or a bridge.
Working in teams, they designed and built their ideas! This hands-on problem-solving builds creativity, resilience, and critical thinking skills essential for success in school and life.
🏡 PreK Learning at Home: December Ideas!
Keep the learning going throughout the holidays with these simple, fun activities:
1. Read Daily: Cozy up and read a book together every day. Look for stories about winter, holidays, or different cultures.
2. Make a Pattern Chain: Use construction paper strips (red/green/white or any colors you have) to make a paper chain for decorating. Have your child follow a pattern (e.g., red, green, red, green) when linking the strips together. This helps develop early math skills in sequencing!
3. Kitchen Science: Let your child help measure ingredients for baking. This is a great, hands-on introduction to math concepts, such as volume and fractions.
We wish all our families a wonderful start to the holiday season!

Have you ever seen counting turn into engineering? 🌟 Our Meigs County preschoolers have! They're practicing counting and number recognition, experimenting with scales and balance, and bringing "The Three Billy Goats Gruff" to life with puppets and bridges. 🐐🌉 Play-based learning connects literacy, art, math, and engineering — and it’s amazing to watch these little problem-solvers in action.
