In Florida For Conference

Last month, two Rockbridge County High School students and their adviser traveled to Orlando, Fla., for the 2023 National Educators Rising Conference. Picture here are (left) Jacob Cline and (right) Cheyanne Clark, both students in teacher Amanda Grimm’s (center) Virginia Teachers for Tomorrow course, which is designed for anyone interested in a career in education. Through that class, they were able to join Educators Rising and attend local and state conferences and competitions. Both students chose to compete in the Lesson Planning and Delivery category and focused on the areas they hope to one day teach. Cline is a 2023 graduate of RCHS and will be attending the University of Kentucky this fall where he will major in music education. His lesson was about musical scales. Clark is a rising senior at RCHS and plans to continue her studies in culinary and education so that she can one day become a Family Consumer Science teacher. She chose to teach students how to cook veggie bites. The conference provided lots of exciting sessions with interesting keynote speakers and the opportunity to network with others from across the country. The students and their adviser would like to thank all of the community members and local businesses who supported and made this trip possible.
