The 7th grade STEM class at TJHS is studying energy and the environment. In this unit, Mrs. Wagner’s students will be investigating different types of energy sources including fossil fuels, solar and wind energy. Friday September 15, the class visited the local Christian County Coal Mine Museum. More information about this field trip is available in the News section of our website.

The elementary instructional coaches and technology integrationist are very excited to receive the Illinois Retired Teachers Association Grant. Suzanne Specha, Cara Thomas, and Paula Moutrey will use the generous grant money to purchase KaiBots to use in the elementary classrooms. These fun robots will create a rich and engaging way to teach & learn coding skills. They will also allow students to solve mazes, puzzles, or escape rooms.

The 8th grade ELA department at Taylorville Jr. High recently received the Illinois Retired Teachers Association grant. Mrs. Alberssen, Mrs. Graves, and Ms. Cummins will use the grant money to purchase new novels for 8th grade students. Great job and the novel is "Touching Spirit Bear" for those interested. A very good read with lots of relevant connections for our TJHS scholars. Pic: L-R, Ms. Cummins, Mrs. Graves, Mrs. Alberssen, and Mr. Bruder
