Press release from Bradley County Schools.

Bradley County Schools strongly believes that technology is a tremendous source that provides countless opportunities for students and staff in educational settings. We have developed a 1-to-1 device program to provide each student with the opportunity to use technology in a way that will enrich and support a high-quality learning experience.

Bradley County School has been selected as a Reading 360 District because of the focused literacy work the district has engaged in over
the past fourteen months. Congratulations to all of our amazing educators that made this happen. We are grateful for your commitment to literacy!

Michigan Avenue Elementary was privileged to host a (virtual) bodhran workshop with Andrew Kruspe the week of November 30th. Mr. Kruspe taught the fourth and fifth graders how to hold and correctly play the Irish drum and then provided them with rhythms to play to traditional Irish music. The instructional time ended with a demonstration by Kruspe and a question and answer session. A fun and educational time was had by all! Special thanks goes to Allied Arts of Cleveland/Bradley County for providing the grant to hold this residency.
