PTA Mini-Grants

The Hughes PTA has awarded a Staff Mini-Grant to Ms Michele Beard, IB MYP Coach, for $337 to attend the National Council for Social Studies Conference in Washington DC. Ms Beard and Ms Pierrottet, are presenting their co-authored paper on creating interdisciplinary units for English, Social Studies and Science. Ms Pierrottet was awarded a scholarship by the National Council of Social Studies to support her attendance at the conference.  Ms Beard and Ms Pierrottet will not only share Hughes' leading edge approach to teaching, but, they will bring back to the school new ideas about engaging all our students in Social Studies content.
