In these days of automated phone systems, it might seem like customer service is a dying art. But employers know that in most businesses, it's still essential to building and maintaining a strong brand and reputation. In conjunction with Bishop State Community College's Skills for Success program, Mary G. Montgomery recently held a Customer Service Lab to teach students the finer points of standout customer service. Topics included effective communication, building relationships, handling customer complaints, and payment processing. #LearningLeading #PerseverancePropelsProgress

Students learned about the important work they do and showed their appreciation by writing letters, making cards, and creating posters. Some officers visited with classes to personally thank the students. #LearningLeading #PerseverancePropelsProgress.

March is National Nutrition Month, and students at Callahan School for the Deaf & Blind had fun last week learning about healthy choices in the library! They read "I Can Eat a Rainbow" and "Just Try One Bite," and then sampled fruits and veggies like avocados, carrots, bananas, oranges, grapes, and strawberries. They also talked about the difference between healthy foods and unhealthy choices like chips, cookies, and candy. Students made avocado and grape crafts and took a poll to see which fruits and vegetables they liked the most. Learning about nutrition can be fun! #LearningLeading #PerseverancePropelsProgress

Elementary and middle schools around the county have been preparing for ACAP testing. Dawes Intermediate found a fun way to get ready, as fourth-graders transformed into a team of “medical professionals” and their classroom became a learning hospital! Students performed surgery with text features, compared and contrasted paired texts, and even prescribed the correct text structure to patients based on their symptoms. Each skill they mastered earned them a star. Students who earned five stars were promoted to Doctors. When they earned all eight stars, they achieved the highest honor — Chief of Surgery! #LearningLeading #PerseverancePropelsProgress
