❤️💛🐾 Friday Feels: The Teachers Who Make an Impact
Recently, Thomasville High School senior football players had the opportunity to recognize a teacher from their middle or high school years who has made an impact on their lives.
During a special breakfast for Thomasville High School and Scholars Academy staff, each senior stood to recognize the teacher they selected. The best part? The teachers had no idea they were going to be recognized. ❤️
Among those special connections were Dana Rainey, chosen by senior Jabarri Robinson; Lauren DeLay, chosen by senior Isaiah Palacios; and Joy Knop, chosen by senior Nyier Harris. Each had taught these young men at some point along their journey from middle to high school.
These are the moments that remind us that a teacher’s impact often reaches far beyond the classroom—and sometimes you don’t realize just how much you’ve meant to a student until years later.
That’s a pretty great Friday Feel. ❤️💛🐾

🌍📚❤️💛 Learning by Doing at Scholars Academy!
Students in Ms. Knop’s class at Scholars Academy have been learning about the different types of governments in Africa—and recently put that learning to the test with a hands-on challenge!
Each group was assigned a type of government and challenged to build a structure out of straws that represented how that government is organized and operates. It was a creative way for students to take what they’ve been studying and turn it into something they could see, build, and better understand.
Hands-on learning + teamwork + a little creativity = a great day in the classroom! 🌍🐾
Way to go, Scholars!

Mrs. Russo’s Life Science students are taking science beyond the classroom! In conjunction with Georgia Adopt-A-Stream, our 7th graders are conducting real-world water quality testing at Sunbeam/Hero Creek in MacIntyre Park.
Students are performing chemical water testing and sampling for macroinvertebrates to help evaluate the health of the creek and its ecosystem. Even better—they are collecting actual stream data that contributes to ongoing environmental monitoring!
This hands-on experience directly connects to Georgia Science Standard S7L4c as students analyze and interpret data as evidence of how resource availability, climate, and human activity may affect organisms, populations, communities, and ecosystems.
Through this project, our students aren’t just learning about ecosystems—they’re working as citizen scientists, collecting authentic data and seeing firsthand how environmental conditions can impact the living organisms in a local ecosystem.
A special thank you to Golden Triangle RC&D for donating the chemical testing kits for the year and to Adopt-A-Stream Coordinator Julie Shutters for supporting this incredible learning opportunity!
Want to see the students’ actual stream data?
