Scholars Academy

A big THANK YOU to John McCall of McCall Architecture Management for inspiring our Odyssey of the Mind (OM) middle school team this week! 👏

Mr. McCall showed how engineering concepts like structural loads, motion, and design apply to real-world examples such as bridges, buildings, and other architectural structures. 🏗️ His insights gave our students valuable knowledge and fresh ideas to carry into their OM projects.

We’re grateful for partners like Mr. McCall who spark curiosity and push our students to think big! 🙌

🌅🌍Horizons expanded as the Scholars Academy middle school students became more culturally aware and considered what it means to be human. 🌍🌅

Gilbert Kubwimana shared how he survived the 1994 Rawandan genocide and took the lessons he learned to start the nonprofit organization from Love With Actions. Mr. Kubwimana presented the Youtube video Hope on the Hill 2025 to teach us how he and his team are caring for the needs of children with disabilities, restoring mothers, educating the Rwandan community, and transforming cultural beliefs.

After a Q&A session, Dr. Sims presented Mr. Kubwimana with a gift from our school and the City of Thomasville. 🎁Asante kwa kuja! (Thank you for coming!)🌹
