East Clarendon Middle & High School

East Clarendon High School Entrepreneurship students had an incredible opportunity to learn from a true industry leader today! 💼✨ A huge thank you to Margi Fleming, SVP & Chief Administrative Officer of The Citizens Bank, for sharing her expertise on financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and smart money management. Students explored real-world concepts like cash flow, investing, risk vs. reward, and what it truly takes to build and sustain a successful business. From “Would You Rather” money scenarios to powerful lessons on saving, investing, and making money work for you, this session challenged our students to think like future entrepreneurs and leaders. We are grateful for community partners who invest in our students’ futures and inspire them to think big, start smart, and stay consistent. 💡📈 #ECHSEntrepreneurship #FutureLeaders #FinancialLiteracy #CommunityPartnerships

Ms. Deon Jones' English II students were engaged in an activity where they were tasked with arranging sentence strips in sequential order and label their function in the body paragraph. They practiced using the thesis statement of the introduction as a clue to determine what the topic sentence of the body paragraph should be, then determine which sentences serve as the evidence from the text, supporting details and explanation of the evidence. They used the representation of the items of a hamburger to represent the key components of a well-developed paragraph. This should help them to remember how to organize their paragraphs when writing.
