It
is
one
thing
to
sit
in
a
classroom.
You
can
get
your
typical
classroom
instruction.
It
is
another
thing
to
get
the
Hands-On
collaborative
work
that
our
teachers
are
giving
in
our
Career
and
Technical
education
classes,
learning
how
to
talk
to
people
learning
how
to
work
collaboratively
in
a
group
on
a
real
world
Hands-On
project.
That
is
something
that
you
don't
necessarily
get
in
an
academic
class.
This.

Because
they're
doing
what
they're
being
trained
to
do
and
they
show
enthusiasm
for
them,
what
do
you
think
ish?
Not
bad
I,
just
want
kids
to
have
some
life
skills,
so
if
they
can
cook
for
the
little
brother,
the
cook
of
their
sister,
whether
they
pursue
it
at
a
post-secondary
level
or
not,
I
just
want
them
to
be
able
to
do
something
for
themselves.
They
can
save
money
and
they
can
eat
better.
I
AC
AK
AJ
AJ

AL
T
AJ
And
a
jean
jacket
and
just
kind
of
okay:
we'll
do
it
again
and
then
again
and
it
just
became
a
thing:
every
Wednesday
and
Wednesdays
did
it
once
we
were
like
now.
We
need
to
keep
this
up.
I've
been
skipped.
Today
we
have
a
couple
pictures
of
when
she's,
not
here
or
during
covid
and
I
had
to
quarantine
and
she
had
to
teach
from
home.
AJ
So
we
had
I
had
her
on
my
smart
board
and
then
I
was
standing,
and
someone
took
our
picture
of
me
in
the
smart
board,
so
never
miss
Wednesday
she's,
a
real-life
twin.
She
has
a
real
life
twin,
a
real
life
Twins
winning
yeah,
but
most
of
the
time,
it's
just
what
we
have
in
our
closet.
We
got
this
shirt
as
a
gift.
A
student
bought
us
these
shirts,
here's
our
first,
our
initial
photo
Wednesday
debatable,
and
then
we
had
these
two
trying
to
copy
us.
AJ
I
think
the
people
that
are
so
nitpicky,
like
your
Apple
watch
bands
don't
match.
That's
not
the
same
purple
where's
like
your
bracelet,
your
watch
band
and
that
just
like
makes
it
fun,
but
I
think
it's
just
fun
to
have
that
I.
Think
one
of
the
people
picking
on
us
here
to
look
forward
to
in
the
week
twins
day,
Phillies
Wednesday,
everyone
I'm,
even
wearing
my
official
Twins
Day
shirt
I,
feel
like
it
doesn't
bring
the
school
together
and
I.
Think
that's!
Our
goal
is
to
bring
joy
during
the
week.
AJ
AL
AL
AJ
AJ
But
most
of
the
time,
it's
just
what
would
have
in
her
closet.
We
got
this
shirt
as
a
gift.
A
student
bought
us
these
shirts,
here's
our
first,
our
initial
photo
Wednesday,
and
then
we
had
these
two
trying
to
copy
us.
I
think
the
people
that
are
so
new
could
be
like
here
with
Apple
watch
fans
don't
match,
that's
not
the
same
purple.
Where
is
like
your
bracelet,
your
watch
band
and
that
just
like
makes
it
fun,
but
I
think
it's
just
fun
to
have
the
people
picking
up
attention
to
look
forward
to
in.

Week,
twins
day,
Feliz
Wednesday,
everyone
I'm,
even
wearing
my
official
Twins
Day
shirt
I,
feel
like
it
does
bring
the
school
together
and
I.
Think
that's.
Our
goal
is
to
bring
joy
during
the
week.
It's
just
something
fun:
to
show
people
we
like
our
jobs.
We
have
fun
at
our
jobs
because
we're
still
here
for
the
kids,

Yeah
I'm
Willis,
Sanders
I
was
in
the
school
district
41
years
I'm
a
native
of
Berkeley
County,
my
homie
here
from
Cross
love,
love,
Berkeley
County.
My
dad
always
told
me
do
a
great
job
where
you
are
do
the
best
job
that
you
can
and
that
would
provide
the
opportunity
to
someone
who
might
think
you
want
to
do
a
great
job
at
another
level.
AW
So
when
I
was
a
teacher,
I
poured
my
heart
out
of
being
the
teacher,
she
said.
That's
all
she
ever
wanted.
A
piece
of
my
artwork
and
she's
been
here
20
years,
I
said:
you've
been
there
that
long
have
I
gotten
a
piece
of
my
artwork,
so
you
can
get
folks
to
do
anything
if
you
can
get
them
motivated
and
inspired
to
do
it.
So
that
was
that's.
How
I
use
my
artwork
so.
AW
Kids
knew
that
I
could
draw.
They
wanted.
My
artwork
I
said
well,
if
you
want
what
mod
for
her
kids,
but
you
have
to
do,
we
came
up
with
a
program
ready
to
win
my
artwork,
so
from
from
the
time
in
1981
was
a
principal
all
the
way
through
principleship
assistant
superintendent,
known
as
a
community
person
I'm
still
producing
and
sharing
my
hard
work.
BA
That's
another
really
good
club
I
recommend
you
join
so
when
I'm
doing
tourism
things
I
make
sure
that
I'm
the
first
fresh
face
that
they
see
just
all
science
classes.
So
when
I'm,
giving
them
toys
and
things
like
that,
they
get
excited
about
the
school,
so
mainly
English
stuff
like
that
down
this
hallway.
This
is
going
to
be
your
earth.
Science,
classroom
and
I,
really
like
the
idea
of
making
sure
that
their
first
day
goes
smoothly.
BA
Google
form
I
am
a
gator
Ambassador,
and
that
is
someone
who
just
kind
of
helps
around
the
school
they
do
tours
for
new
students,
so
we
can
put
Ethan
on
the
posters.
A
gator
Ambassador
helps
with
everything
not
in
this
class.
But
for
that
event
you
will
I'm
also
part
of
National
Honor,
Society,
Beta
Club
right.

There's
one
thing
to
sit
in
a
classroom:
you
can
get
your
typical

It
is
another
thing
to
get
the
Hands-On
collaborative
work
that
our
teachers
are
giving
in
our
career
in
technical
education
classes,
learning
how
to
talk
to
people
learning
how
to
work
collaboratively
in
a
group
on
a
real
world
Hands-On
project.
That
is
something
that
you
don't
necessarily
get
in
an
academic

Christina
Wingo
Child
Nutrition
supervisor,
it's
nice
to
meet
you
I'm
Christina
I'm
from
Child
Nutrition
Nashville
School
breakfast
week
was
last
week.
So
for
each
day
that
students
ate
breakfast
with
us,
they
were
entered
into
a
drawing
and
all
of
those
students
were
randomly
selected
and
we've
been
out
delivering
iPads
and
bicycles
and
earbuds
fees
are
for
you.
Thank
you,
you're
welcome,
so
some
of
them
are
kind
of
shocked,
they're
in
disbelief.
They
can't
believe
that
they
actually
won
something
that
is
for
you.
Y
Y
AA
AB
AB
I
AG
I
Really
the
best
thing,
because
they're
doing
what
they're
being
trained
to
do
and
they
show
enthusiasm
for
what
do
you
think
ish
kids
have
some
life
skills,
so
they
could
cook
for
the
little
brother
they
cook
for
their
sister,
whether
they
pursue
it
at
a
post-secondary
level
or
not.
I
just
want
them
to
be
able
to
do
something
for
themselves.
They
can
save
money
and
they
can
eat
better.
It's
been
a
great
greatest
18
years.
I've
got
super
kids.
I
have
super
support
from
the
county,
whatever
I
need
to
make
the
students
be
successful.
B
AJ
AJ
Okay,
Wednesday
is
something
that
we
have
been
doing
for
about
four
years
now:
every
Wednesday,
Miss,
Bowen
and
I
just
like
to
match
it's
just
something
fun
to
break
up
the
week.
One
of
our
sayings
used
to
be
that
we
could
remind
people
what
day
of
the
week
it
was.
We
plan
our
outfits
the
night
before
and
it's
fun
the
kids
kind
of
get
in
on
it
too,
and
something
to
look
forward
to.
AL
AJ
It
started
as
an
accident.
We
would
show
up
to
work
a
couple
times
we're
pretty
similar
outfits.
Our
classic
outfit
is
like
black
pants,
like
white
tea
and
a
jean
jacket
it
just
kind
of
okay,
we'll
do
it
again
and
then
again,
and
it
just
became
a
thing-
every
Wednesday
and
Wednesdays
did
it
once
we
were
like
now.
We
need
to
keep
this
up
haven't
skipped.
Today
we
have
a
couple
pictures
of
when
she's,
not
here
or
during
covid
and
I
had
to
quarantine
and
she
had
to
teach
from
home.
AJ
So
we
had
I
had
her
on
my
smart
board
and
then
I
was
standing,
and
someone
took
our
picture
of
me
and
the
smart
board
so
never
miss
a
Wednesday
she's,
a
real-life
twin.
She
has
a
real
life
time,
a
real
life
Twins
winning
yeah,
but
most
of
the
time,
it's
just
what
we
have
in
our
closet.
We
got
this
shirt
as
a

A

these

here's

I

it's

to
have

I'm,

I.

It's

They
took
some
time
you

drawing
it
by
hand,
they
created
their

drawing
that
mirrored
their
original

then
from
there
they
uploaded
it

once
they

special
place
and
you
can't
describe
the
feeling
that
you
have
when
you're
watching
a
kid
excited
about
school.
You
want
them
to
want
to
be
here.
You
want
them
to
see
that
hey
what
I'm
learning
here
is
going
to
make
a
difference.

day.

Thank
you
for
what
you
do,
because
we
all
are
one
Community
when
I
was
a
senior
in
college.
I
said:
if
I
ever
were
to
get
out
and
make
a
difference.
Let
me
go
and
help
these
kids
so
they'd
be
better
prepared
when
they
came
to
college
and
I
thought.
I
could
really
go
out
and
change
the
world.
From
that
standpoint.

Someone
might
think
you

So
when
I
was

I
poured
my

She

AW
No
one
can
tell
about
the
way
you
work
better
than
the
person
who
worked
in
the
system.
If
someone
wanted
to
come
to
work
for
Berkeley,
County,
School,
District
I
would
say
it's
a
great
place
to
work.
Sometimes
it's
not
all
about
the
salary,
but
it's
a
work
environment
and
when
they
realized
that
they're
making
a
difference
because
of
the
environment.
That's
what
my
theme
is
sharing
time,
talents
and
treasures
the
heart
of
a
purposeful
life.

You
got
it
Waylon
good
job,
you'll
be
sitting
at
your
table
and
teaching
a
lesson.
Then
Savannah.
Can
you
turn
on
your
good
girl?
The
light
bulb
will
spark
and
just
seeing
their
reactions
is
just
amazing.
My
class
is
considered
cross
categorical
So
within
that
is
a
range
of
disabilities,
so
some
of
my
students
actually
predominantly
I,
have
students
with
autism,
but
I
can
also
have
students
with
other
health
impairments,
some
mild
intellectual
abilities,
medical
disabilities.
Things
like
that.
Can
you
try
that
again
using
your
big
boy?
Words,
the
chips?
BJ

BJ
BJ
Because
you
have
your
school
family,
the
kids
that
become
your
kids,
but
you
also
have
your
own
family,
so
it
was
hard.
It
was
hard
finding
that
balance.
If
you
want
to
use
your
words,
hey
it's
your
hand
and
wait.
Oh
my
God.
The
drive
was
for
online
learning.
You
know
digital
learning,
but
with
students
with
special
needs.
BJ
That
is
not
necessarily
the
best
method
of
teaching,
especially
when
it
came
to
teaching
social
skills.
How
do
you
teach
social
skills
virtually
when
you
can't
do
hand
over
hand
when
you
can't
be
next
to
them
when
you
can't
have
them
with
that
quick
redirection,
so
that
was
that
was
the
struggle,
the
social
skills
and
the
behavior.
BJ
Some
behavioral
challenges
is
what
I
find
myself
addressing
the
most
Michael
Com
72
70,
a
lot
of
reteaching
behaviors,
a
lot
of
re-teaching
skills:
how
to
love
themselves,
how
to
make
friends
how
to
talk
to
people
appropriately
I
couldn't
teach
their
numbers
and
letters
and
and
grammar
if
they
couldn't
build
on
those
skills.
So
when
I
call
your
name
come
up
to
me
and
come
get
your
math
journal,
satin
it's
a
beyond
beyond
the
clock
job,
it's
even
if
you're,
not
doing
paperwork.

There's
one
thing
to
sit
in
a
classroom:
you
can
get
your
typical

instruction.
It
is
another
thing
to
get
the
Hands-On
collaborative
work
that
our
teachers
are
giving
in

learning

Our
first
and
only
speaker
this
evening
is
Miss.
Cindy
Fisk
welcome,
Miss
Fisk.
BS
As
you
know,
my
name
is
Cindy
Fisk
and
since
I
retired,
as
a
teacher
after
serving
30
years
in
this
District
I,
have
been
receiving
and
reading
statements
that
are
sent
to
me
and
they
are
written
by
your
employees
since
November
I
want
to
say
something
first,
that
I
have
heard
from
someone
that
I
met
who
had
just
moved
here.
She
moved
in
the
end
of
December
and
she
is
a
certified
teacher.
BS
She
comes
from
a
northern
state
and
instead
of
like
just
getting
hired
on
as
a
certified
teacher,
she
decided
to
get
a
job
in
Berkeley,
County,
School
District,
so
she
took
on
a
job
as
a
teacher
assistant
in
a
self-contained
classroom.
She
told
me
that
she
was
shocked
that
when
she
walked
in
the
classroom
and
see
that
she
and
the
teacher
were
the
only
two
adults
in
the
cross
cat
can
self-contained
classroom
with
15
students.
BS
She
did
inform
me
that
in
the
state
from
which
she
came,
15
cross-cat
students
would
have
a
total
of
seven
adults
in
a
self-contained
classroom.
Now,
with
that
story,
I
want
to
go
ahead
and
read
you.
What
was
sent
to
me
by
one
of
your
employees,
who
is
a
teacher
assistant
in
this
District
a
typical
day,
includes
changing
diapers,
transferring
students
to
and
from
their
Wheelchairs
and
feeding
students
in
the
same
class,
I
have
been
hit,
kicked
spit
on
scratched
and
bitten,
I
understand
the
physical
limitations,
communication
needs
and
behaviors
of
students
with
disabilities.
BS
However,
it
is
overwhelming
there
are
over
50
special
ed
education
teacher
positions
that
are
currently
vacant
and
over
40
special
education
assistant
positions
available.
That
should
give
you
an
idea
of
just
how
understaffed
these
classrooms
are.
I
love
my
students,
but
it
is
stressful.
This
is
especially
true
because
I
am
a
special
education
assistant
and
I
make
less
than
twenty
two
thousand
dollars
annually
and
I
have
to
have
a
second
job
to
live.
I
could
be
making
more
at
Chick-fil-A
or
as
a
door
Dasher
and
not
be
physically
assaulted.
BS
Due
to
lack
of
support
in
these
classes.
Please
tell
me
why
I
should
stay
for
that
amount
of
pay.
Also,
next
Monday
I
believe
is
Charleston
County
school
district
school
board.
Meeting-
and
they
were
talking
about
at
the
last
meeting
of
increasing
the
beginning-
pay
to
fifty
eight
thousand
dollars
a
year.
Thank
you.

award.
BY
This
award
recognizes
the
outstanding
leadership
team,
whose
use
of
technology
and
impact
on
student
learning
has
been
transformative
for
its

Priscilla

and
the
entire

for
not
only
the
work
you
do
that
we
see,
but
for
the
work
that
you
do
behind
the
scenes
recently.
There
have
been
many
many
opportunities
for
engagement
to
ensure
that
teaching
and
learning
are
our
core
business.
We
will
continue
both
these
internal

external
communication
opportunities
to
include
sessions
for
teacher

staff
groups.
BY

Since
we
featured
these
new
items,
General
Mills
donated
250
five
dollar
Walmart
gift
cards
to
give
out
to
some
lucky
students.
Each
day
during
breakfast,
all
students
who
purchase
their
breakfast
during
the
week
were
entered
in
a
grand
prize,
drawing
our
grand
prizes
were
purchased
using
kitchen,
Circle
and
cool
school
points.
These
are
points
that
accumulate
from
purchasing
certain
foods
throughout
the
year
for
our
students.
BY
Instead
of
using
any
of
child
nutrition's
funds,
we
were
able
to
use
these
points
to
purchase
eight
bikes,
22,
iPads
and
eight
sets
I'm.
Sorry
and
three
sets
of
earbuds
to
give
away
as
grand
prizes
for
student
participate
participants
by
running
this
fun
and
exciting
promotion.
We
increased,
purchased
breakfasts
by
10
percent.
We
usually
average
serving
51
000
breakfast
meals.
Each
week
during
the
National
School
breakfast
week
we
had
almost
57
000
breakfast
meals
served.
We
have
seen
this
increase
continue
through
last
week
and
hope
that
it
will
continue
through
this
year.
