MARCH TEACHER/PROFESSIONAL OF THE MONTHMTOTM
MARCH TEACHER OF THE MONTH
Congratulations to Ms. Lynn Scott for being named March Teacher of the Month! This is her teaching philosophy: I teach because I love seeing students learn and grow. My philosophy is a warm and respectful environment brings out the best in each student. In my classroom, students work collaboratively in a work type setting to demonstrate their learning through foods lab experiences and projects. Students learn the science behind ingredients, processes and techniques and love comparing finished products which document the changes they have made. I believe students who may struggle academically in some classes get to shine in CTAE courses.
MARCH PROFESSIONAL OF THE MONTH
Congratulations to Ms. Michelle Hight for being named March Professional of the Month! This is what was said about her: Michelle is one of the most hard-working individuals I know. She works continuously to make sure that every new family to Milton feels welcome and comfortable with their transition. This fall she enrolled over 175 new families, all while reviewing transcripts, transitioning to Infinite Campus, answering countless emails/phone calls, and making every family feel as though they are part of the Milton family. She is an invaluable member to the Milton faculty, and is a wonderful example of what it means to be Milton's POTM!

Each week a new sign-up will be linked to the site.
  
Breathing Classes
Breathing classes will be offered before school and last approximately 15 minutes. These classes focus on topics of anxiety, stress, emotions, self-care, personal growth, inner peace and resilience while teaching breathing techniques. They help students find a calm and focus before class.
   
Relaxation Classes
Relaxation classes promote deep rest and relaxation. Body scans and breath awareness are used to calm the nervous system leading to less stress and better health. Essentially these classes are "active" naps.
   
Movement Classes
Movement classes combine a physical practice with breathing techniques to strengthen muscles and relieve stress. Similar to breathing classes, movement classes focus on topics of anxiety, stress, emotions, self-care, personal growth, inner peace and resilience.
Encourage your students to sign-up!
