We had two teams and as a result we were able to participate in four projects. We lead the “R Word Campaign”, served others as part of the Beta Club, paved the way to begin a Toiletry Bank, and had a huge Kindness campaign. We consider all of these endeavors as successful.

Our “R Word” Campaign opened the eyes of many of our students. They…Read More

Our AES Cares program have reached our students, their families and our community through four areas; Blessings Box, Homework Help, Family Resource Center Helpers and AES Care Cases. The…Read More

The Giving Room
“Giving Something of Yourself for the Benefit of Others”

Too often, many students choose not to be, or are not self motivated to be active learners due to a past traumatic experience where someone has stifled them or caused them to feel inadequate in creating, performing, or producing something on a acceptable level. Many of…Read More

My students have really taken on this project and have been excited about teaching younger students. They are answering questions from their younger “students” with confidence, and checking on them from time to time to make sure they are successful in using them. They even took on the responsibility of talking to the teachers of the younger…Read More

It took a while for my students to get used to the idea that they were not only going to have to learn how to use the Rocketbooks for themselves, but master their use and learn how to teach others how to use the notebooks. They were nervous about it, but knew they needed to take it serious because the education of younger kids who needed some…Read More

It was a little more difficult that I first expected to get the kids and their general education teachers to buy in to using the Rocketbooks at first. They were so used to having a notebook for every class. Even though most of the time the notes in these notebooks were never used to study or refer to, and the assignments created in these…Read More

My students have been loving the Rocketbook notebooks they received. It took some getting used to. They felt as if they needed to still have several notebooks, but after time they started to realize how much easier it was to keep up with all of their assignments and notes. They get excited to write, which was an unexpected bonus. They want to…Read More

Hazard 606
The 606 Coffee/The 606 Safety Net
Made possible by The KVEC Student Senate Community Challenge Grant

One only has to drive down Main Street in Hazard, Kentucky to see the burned-out buildings and empty storefronts. Legal offices, the Judicial Center, banking institutions and the lone “Broken Spoke” Lounge are the only visible signs of…Read More

I was so pleased with how my grant “Alexa, Help My Students Become More Independent” turned out. I expected my students to become interested in using the Echo Dots in their classrooms and once more familiar with reaching out for, and using information, spread into using other technological devices to obtain needed information. I did run into a…Read More

ARI Student Senator Brittany Vires was sworn in as the new student representative on the Hazard Board of Education by board attorney Sam Collins at the February meeting. Student representation is a component of the HHS Student Senate “Plan”.

Here is a sample video of our students performing in our Christmas program using the ARI Grant materials. Listen closely for the sleighbells and watch closely as the students control the lighting as well. Thanks KVEC!

“I Can Perform My Way” Update

January update on “I Can Perform My Way”. Our autism unit performed was able to perform on the devices purchased through the ARI grant. The students were amazing as they controlled lighting as well as played sleighbells to the song “Sleighbells”. At this time we are in the process of building three perform…Read More

Project Title: I Can Perform My Way

Area of Focus and/or Research Question
Are all students capable of performing? Are all students provided the opportunity to perform? These two questions have weighed on me for the past 20 years of my teaching career. Yes, all students are capable. However, not all students are provided the opportunity.

The Echo Dots have been distributed to all of the classrooms now. The newness has worn off and they are now asking more serious questions instead of just wanting to ask Alexa to play their favorite song. They still will look at me before they ask something new, because they are still unsure of if they are allowed to use Alexa to help them. It…Read More

Thanks to all of you. You made the FIRE Summit a huge success.

In my almost eighteen years of teaching, I have spoken with many eighth graders receiving specially designed services about plans for their future. As a result of these conversations, I have asked myself how often my students are reaching out independently for resources, and have come to realize my students are not setting goals, furthering…Read More
