Kindergarten Circus to Prom Prep, A Week of Dynamic Events
As Cedar Key School gears up for a bustling week commencing March 4, 2024, the community is invited to dive into a series of engaging events, from academic focuses to the much-anticipated prom night. Spearheaded by High School English Instructor, Jessica Crosby, the week promises a blend of educational initiatives and extracurricular excitement, marking significant moments for both students and faculty.
Education and Engagement: A Dual Focus
Highlighting the academic agenda, Cedar Key School emphasizes the importance of reading as part of their WICOR strategy, focusing on writing, inquiry, collaboration, organization, and reading to enhance student learning. Additionally, the school is adopting tenets of Explicit Instruction to improve how responses are elicited in the classroom, fostering a more interactive and productive learning environment. Amidst these educational endeavors, the school is also buzzing with preparations for the annual Kindergarten Circus, slated for May 14, seeking volunteers to ensure its success. Furthermore, the closure of the school auditorium for prom and banquet preparations has prompted a temporary relocation of meetings to the media center, showcasing the school’s adaptability.
Key Events Throughout the Week
The week is packed with activities that cater to a wide range of interests. Spring Picture Day, a third-grade field trip to the Butterfly Rainforest, and various athletic events including a middle school softball game, boys’ weightlifting meet, and track & field meets, ensure that students of all grades have something to look forward to. Additionally, the week features a college and career-themed Wednesday, encouraging students to represent their aspirations. The highlight for many, however, was the Cedar Key School prom on Saturday, March 9, an event that not only excited the students but also brought the community together in celebration of this significant milestone.
More Than Just School Events
Beyond the immediate buzz of the upcoming events, these activities underscore the school’s commitment to creating a holistic educational experience. The focus on both academic and extracurricular activities illustrates the school’s dedication to fostering an environment where students can excel academically while also engaging in meaningful social and community activities. From the anticipation surrounding the Kindergarten Circus to the collective efforts in organizing the prom, Cedar Key School demonstrates the power of community engagement and the impactful role of education in shaping well-rounded individuals.
As Cedar Key School navigates through this eventful week, the blend of educational focus and extracurricular excitement not only enhances the student experience but also strengthens the community spirit.
