🌟 Transformational Lesson of the Week: Mr. Brown and Ms. Wimsatt! 🌟

We’re excited to recognize Mr. Brown and Ms. Wimsatt for delivering a truly impactful learning experience in their Health classes! This week, they welcomed ten nursing students from Bellarmine University, who led engaging lessons on stress and stress management.

Students explored how stress affects the body and mind, learned about different stress responses, and practiced grounding skills they can use in real-life situations. The lesson was practical, relevant, and empoweringβ€”exactly the kind of learning that sticks.

Throughout the year, Mr. Brown and Ms. Wimsatt have consistently brought in guest speakers, giving students repeated opportunities to learn from professionals in the field. These experiences create authentic, real-world learning that helps students see the direct connection between classroom instruction and life beyond school.

This experience beautifully connected to our District Graduate Profile competencies:

πŸ—£οΈ Effective Communicator – Students discussed stress openly and asked thoughtful questions.

πŸ“š Mastery Learner – They gained essential knowledge about mental and physical health.

🀝 Productive Collaborator – Mr. Brown and Ms. Wimsatt actively modeled collaboration with one another and with health professionals, reinforcing the importance of teamwork, real-world connections, and lifelong learning.

πŸ’‘ Innovative Problem Solver – Students learned strategies to manage stress in healthy ways.

🧭 Self-Directed Navigator – They practiced skills to take ownership of their well-being.

🌍 Community Contributor – Partnering with Bellarmine University and other professionals strengthened community connections.

πŸ‘ Thank you, Mr. Brown and Ms. Wimsatt, for your commitment to creating meaningful, authentic learning experiences that truly transform student learning!
