Anson County School District issued the following announcement.
The Anson County School District made the NC Department of Public Instruction's Weekly Top 10 list! Anson County Schools was the "District Spotlight" in their Weekly Top 10 for their JAMM (Jump into Art Music and Movement) Initiative that was implemented during the summer learning camp.
JAMM: Jump into Art Music and Movement
JAMM is a hands-on initiative created by Anson County Schools that engages students in the creative process by exploring connections between art, music, and movement with other subject areas. During summer learning camp, students are able to dive deeper into thematic units of study as they “travel around the world” by participating in interactive, kinesthetic, and authentic cultural learning activities. This is a nontraditional interactive space where students’ social, emotional, and physical needs are met.
A huge thanks to Melody Stinson and Scarlett Ponds for leading this program!
Superintendent Howard McLean stated, "our students have benefited greatly from this interactive program. The experience of the JAMM program has and will continue to produce positive impacts on academic, social, emotional and physical development and we look forward to continuing to grow this program in the future!"
Way to go, Anson County Schools!
