Inside the Classroom | Learning in Action
Seniors in Mrs. Hendrickson’s AP Literature and Composition class brought a poetic twist to March Madness!
Students became poets themselves, writing original poems and competing in a classroom poetry bracket. Then, they picked up pen and ink again to analyze their work, highlighting the literary techniques that transform words into lyric art.
Creativity, competition, and critical thinking—all in one lesson! #PryorTigerStrong

This week Jefferson 3rd through 5th graders learned about different careers from community members who work locally. Thank you Pryor Fire Department, Terry Thompson with RAE Corporation, Hannah Giddeon with Crossland Construction, Ruth Miller (Nurse) , Kennedy Fannin (Hairdresser), and Grace Rutherford (Pilot).
When students develop a passion for a future career path, they can apply that passion to learning and growth in the classroom. We can't wait to see the positive impact our students will make in their future careers!
This week, Assistant Principals are in the spotlight, and we can't let it come to a close without showing appreciation for our own amazing team of professionals.
Thank you for all you do to guide, encourage, and uplift our Tiger family — we are so grateful for your leadership!

They play a crucial role in helping teachers provide effective instruction and in supporting students' academic, social, and emotional needs. Thank you for all that you do!
