Mrs. Kathy Smith, 3rd/4th
grades teacher at Randolph Elementary
School, recently received a grant from the
Bibb County Schools Foundation for an
Interwrite MOBI with KWIK screen for
classroom use. The MOBI allows the user to
project writing from the small portable
screen to a white board while interacting
with students from around the room.
Students benefit from more one-on-one
teacher interaction and less wait time
rather than the teacher having to go from
the board to the student or the student
going to the board. The MOBI can be used
by students and teachers alike to share
information and demonstrate the learning
going on in the classroom. In the photos,
3rd grade student Kiersten Pate
(back to camera) and 4th grade
student Hannah Lawley (facing camera) are
using the MOBI to demonstrate coordinates
on a grid. According to Mrs. Smith,
“Students are excited about this
technology tool and are motivated to work
hard at solving problems so they can share
their skills and strategies with the other
students.” Mrs. Smith’s class would like
to say a special thank you to the Bibb
County Schools Foundation for offering
grants to teachers and to the businesses
and individuals who contribute to the
Foundation for making these grants
possible.

In response to recent
school/community meetings focusing on Dropout
Prevention, the Bibb County Board of Education
is exploring various strategies for creating
effective support services for students.
Because research shows that students who have
positive relationships with adults are less
likely to drop out of school, one area of
interest is in developing a school-based
mentor program in conjunction with community
partners. The initial step is to establish a
list of proposed volunteers outside of the
school system who would be willing to serve as
mentors. Any adults who are interested in
serving as mentors or who would like more
information concerning the mentoring program
should contact either:
Dr. Alesa Judd at (205) 926-9881 or by email
at
judda@bibbed.org
Dr. Gwendolyn Valentine at (205) 926-5970 or
by email at
ghvalentine@earthlink.net .

Bibb County High School Students of the Month
BES Kindergarten Students Celebrate Dental
Health Month

program on dental health at Brent Elementary
for Kindergarten students.
Each February, the
American Dental Association (ADA) sponsors
National Children's Dental Health Month to
raise awareness about the importance of oral
health. The campaign is designed to raise
awareness that developing good habits at an
early age and scheduling regular dental visits
helps children get a good start on a lifetime
of healthy teeth and gums. For
additional information on dental health visit
Dr. Sanchez-Hernandez’s website (www.mccallasmiles.com).
