More Than 100 Participate in 'Scramble for Schools' Golf Tournament

The 25th Annual Smoky Hill Education Foundation Golf Tournament brought in more than $8,000 in support of education at more than 50 school districts in Kansas. A tradition nearly as old as Smoky Hill Education Service Center itself, the tournament at the Salina Municipal Golf Course has grown to be one of the largest in the area.

Hundreds of door prizes from generous area donors went to the participants, including an amazing grand prize of a 55” Samsung flat-screen TV, which went to Gary Teel, board of education member with USD 365 Anderson County!

Featured Professional Development: Teacher Safari 2022 - What's Right About Writing!

Join us at Rolling Hills Zoo for Teacher Safari 2022! It's the “WRITE” thing to do!  

 

Writing is authentic and a real-world process that students use in every aspect of their lives from completing school work, to employment, to texting and posting, and beyond. Writing provides opportunities for student reflection and future creation.

 

At this workshop, teachers will learn writing ideas that are thought-provoking, standards-based, and teacher-guided while implementing student voice and choice.

 

Register for July 20 and 21 at go.smokyhill.org/safari for this valuable and fun opportunity!
