Middle school teachers from both MPMS and SA participated in The Engagement Cycle workshop with John O’Connor.
Mrs. Lori Summer shared, “I found John O’Connor to be an engaging speaker. His presentation was thought-provoking and gave me an opportunity for self-reflection on how I engage students. I walked away with practical ideas that I can apply in my classroom.”
Ms. Engram and Ms. Howell, science teachers, said they love the engagement cycle. They stated that they can totally see using it in a phenomena based lesson.
Dr. Sims, Scholars Academy Director, and Dr. Jordan Williams, Chief Academic Officer, were also on hand to show their support for teacher growth and learning.

🌅🌍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!)🌹
