The community literacy effort continues with the Troup County Literacy Warriors and TCSS. The group is hosting weekly Reading Moments. The first reading moment is hosted by Mama Jama. 
 

Some K-5 English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) students in Troup County School System (TCSS) are preparing for the next school year by heading off the summer slide. As part of the ESOL Summer Enrichment Camp held at Ethel W. Kight Elementary, close to 85 students per day have been spending their time in between the classroom and the playground.

The camp provides TCSS instructors that use curriculum driven programs to teach fluency, build reading comprehension, and develop language proficiency. In addition, school and bus safety is taught so students are aware of evacuations and safety procedures.

Kamren Stargill, recent LaGrange High School graduate walked into a meeting a few weeks ago that changed the trajectory of his post graduate plans. “I didn’t know anything about School 2 Work. I just walked into the room at school and heard somebody talking about job interviews. It sounded like a good opportunity so I asked about it.”
 

This week, Caterpillar and Mauser held signing days for students they hired out of school like Stargill and Nunn. Four students began orientation at Caterpillar while two started their careers at Mauser. Dommonique Macklin, Section Manager of Assembly Building at Caterpillar, was on site two weeks ago interviewing over 20 students for positions with the organization. Some of the qualities she said stood out for her were attendance, work ethic, and responding under pressure.

The LaGrange Industrial Fellowship for Teachers (LIFT) externship program got another boost as close to 20 Troup County School System (TCSS) educators filled the halls of area businesses to learn more about advanced manufacturing in Troup County. To date, 61 teachers have been through the program.

Scott Malone, president of LaGrange Development Authority said, “The whole purpose is to have the teachers that are instructing the children know what the opportunities are in business. They can then share this new knowledge in the classroom and in their student learning. Helping the teacher see what the manufacturing environment is today is absolutely critical to everything we are doing for economic development.”
