Preparing Students for the Workplace of the Future
During the 2015/2016 school year, Twin Bridges School was approached by John
Osborne, a local resident and retired high tech executive, who pitched the idea of
making the school the “STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)
Mecca of SW Montana”. He had been in conversations with Dr. Terry Brewer, the
founder and CEO of Brewer Science in Rolla, Missouri, who told Mr. Osborne about
a program called Project Lead the Way (PLTW). This program focuses on hands-on
projects that teach students how to problem solve, work as a collaborative team,
communicate, and be creative in the classroom.
The PLTW program is a nationwide curriculum, spanning all grade levels from pre-
kindergarten to 12th grade, and encompassing three threads: Engineering,
Biomedical Science and Computer Science. It is also synergistic with the Twin
Bridges School philosophy of preparing students for the workplace of the future.
Twin Bridges School was recently awarded a $50,900 grant for it’s Science/PLTW program. These grant funds will be used for the following purposes:
-
Purchase technologies and equipment that will enhance the learning experience.
-
Purchase PLTW modules to expand the elementary offerings.
-
Provide honorarium to recognize outside speakers who come to Twin Bridges for presentations.
-
Provide funding for a STEM career exposition and increased public awareness of the Program’s effectiveness.
-
Provide funds for STEM professional development and attendance at national conferences as presenters.
Congratulations, and a special thank you to John Osborne who first pitched the PLTW idea, and who has given his unwavering support to Twin Bridges Schools.
UPDATE ANNOUNCEMENT:
PRIDE has been postponed until further notice. The district is still looking to hire another assistant, for anyone that would like to apply. The applications can be found here on the website under the DISTRICT tab and Employment Openings button on the drop down menu. When it takes you to a new page, the proper application will be highlighted as Non-Certified. You can also pick a packet up at the school office.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
Dear Pride Families,
We currently have fifty-two students on the Pride (after school program) roster and only one full time instructor. If you have interest in employment as an instructor or if you would like to volunteer with the program please contact Mel Johnson or Regan Reneau. Also, due to the rise in COVID cases in our county, we find it necessary to temporarily pause the Pride program.
Pride will not be available the week of September 27-30. We hope to resume Pride Monday, October 4. Please anticipate that when the program resumes it will be on a modified schedule and students will be able to attend two days a week similar to last year. We will group students according to families and grade levels. Before we resume we will let you know what days your student(s) can attend. I understand this is not an ideal situation but we cannot safely social distance with the number of Pride students we have. The safety and health of our students and staff is our number one priority.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact me. Thank you for your understanding and support of our students and school.
Again, we are also looking to hire another community member to help group students into smaller pods, and volunteers would also be welcomed.
