Paris ISD teachers receive classroom grants from TRTF

The Texas Retired Teachers Foundation (TRTF) announced

Paris High School teacher Hope Anthony

TG Givens Early Childhood Center teacher Shawn Reeves

the recipients of its 2018 classroom assistance grants, including Paris High School teacher Hope Anthony and TG Givens Early Childhood Center teacher Shawn Reeves. The foundation awards grants to Texas public school teachers creating innovative programs for Texas classrooms. TRTF awarded thirty $500 grants to teachers across the state. Mary Nell Scott, a member of the TRTF board of trustees, visited Paris ISD to award the grants.

Anthony teaches Algebra at Paris High School and will implement Breakout Room activities for all high school math classes. Breakout Rooms involve using clues, games, tools, and puzzles to solve a lesson-focused mystery, while enabling students to use teamwork, problem-solving, critical thinking, and trouble shooting skills.

Reeves works at TG Givens Early Childhood Center where he will build an outdoor extension of his Pre-K enrichment classroom. This will be an all-natural science and discovery area. Reeves will purchase the raw materials, such as chipped bark, filler, potting/digging and water stations, and large boulders, while utilizing free materials from the school maintenance department (logs, etc.) to complete the area.

Quick Tip Information

Quick Tip is a support system that allows students to communicate with school administrators. While the district already has many programs to help students deal with challenges such as bullying behaviors, stress, peer pressure, and family problems, Quick Tip helps break the code of silence often experienced by students because it allows them to report concerns to administrators anonymously.

Submit from App
SchoolMessenger Quick Tip app is available for both iOS (iTunes App Store) and Android devices (Google Play). Download SchoolMessenger Quick Tip App. When launching the app for the first time, you will be prompted to enter the school district code. The school district code is paristx.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is not a crisis line. In cases of emergency, the site will direct students to call 911!
