This year I would like to invite parents, guest speakers, and even fellow colleagues into our classroom to speak about their area of expertise and give your children the chance to learn about a variety of professions, higher education options, and a plethora of different cultures! In order to accomplish this, I will need all of the help I can get! I truly believe that bringing in members of our community to share their experience with us will be an invaluable chance for your child to see what the world has to offer, and to prepare them to be engaged, hardworking citizens with a mission!
Each guest speaker will have to sign up through the Volunteer Tracker on our Franklin County Schools website, and will also have several phone conferences before joining us in the classroom.
Right now, as we prepare for school, anyone who would be interested in joining us on a Friendly Friday please leave a comment below or email me at meaganthornton@fcschools.net . Once we have started the school year I will be reaching out for more content specific guests that will be tied in closely with curriculum. In the meantime, start thinking about some people (maybe even yourself!) that have valuable experience, or a different perspective that you think the students will gain knowledge from!
Thank you so much for all of your help! I can't wait to see how much our Thinkers will learn!
