Even after 27 years of teaching, there is never a dull moment in teaching for EHS chemistry teacher Melissa Barnett. 
 
“I often find a new lab or demonstration to incorporate in the learning material. This has often led to the search for additional funding for my classroom, so I have learned to be a successful grant writer. For example, I have received the ADK Regional Classroom grant twice and ADK Professional Development grant. I have also written grants with Sara Chapman of the science department which has led to the purchase of an Analytical Balance and Melting Point apparatus.” 
 
Barnett has been at EHS for 21 years of her career and has taught high school students in many science courses, such as physics, chemistry, and environmental science. Most recently she has taken over teaching the upper-class chemistry courses, including AP Chemistry and Honors Chemistry I. 
 
“In high school, my most impacted class was chemistry, but I always knew I wanted to be a teacher.” 
 
Chemistry is still my passion. 
 
“I love helping students and other chemistry educators in experiencing the wonders of chemistry and all it has to offer. I also enjoy observing the moments when a student can connect and apply previous knowledge to current learning material.” 
 
When she is not in the classroom, Barnett enjoys various outdoor activities, including hiking and riding her bike. She also relishes spending time with family, traveling and leading a troop of high school Girl Scouts.” #d7proud
Honors Bio II and AP Bio students worked on a CSI Honors Bio II and AP Bio students worked on a CSI case last week. There was a "murder" where students examined the scene by collecting evidence, taking pictures, and conducting interviews. They then went to the lab to study the forensics through DNA, gels, solutions, footprints, fingerprints, hair, and blood spatter to try and solve who did it. #d7proud

Lauren Davis has taught an array of subjects, but for all 11 years of her teaching career, she has taught at least one language arts or reading class every school year. 
 
“The power and importance of language arts is what drives me to push my students to become the best writers possible. Along with writing, I love watching students develop a love for reading by finding their favorite author or genre. Reading is powerful because it allows us to step into other worlds, break away from reality, and learn history about ancient places or important leaders that have gone before us.” 
 
Davis, who is in her second year at Liberty, has always wanted to be a teacher. 
 
“I would play school, and “teach” my Cabbage Patch Dolls with a small dry erase board I had in my bedroom. My desire to teach came from the positive and caring teachers I had in elementary school. I also love interacting with people, and I love the excitement school brings.” 
 
Like all teachers, she lives for that “light bulb” moment. 
 
“However, the most fruitful part of teaching is watching your students grow both academically and socially. I love interacting with my students and watching them interact with their peers. I enjoy the diversity in my classroom and showing all students kindness as they develop a love for learning.” 
 
She also has a great appreciation for the attitude sixth graders have regarding school and their teachers. 
 
“Sixth grade is when students become independent learners and figure out who they are. I enjoy helping students learn to study and prepare for tests and big projects. Many skills they learn in sixth grade help them achieve remarkable success in middle school which they carry on to high school and into their adult life.” 
 
When she’s not in the classroom, Davis can be found outside with her two boys and husband. They enjoy walking, biking, working out, playing in adult softball and volleyball leagues, and relaxing at Table Rock Lake. #d7proud

In 2019, District 7 partnered with the @Edwardsville Public Library and First Student Bus Transportation Company to increase student access to books and awareness of the power of reading in hopes to grow enthusiastic readers. 

Stories on the Move, a program that puts books donated from the Edwardsville Public Library on 15 District 7 buses, emerged out of this collaborative effort. The concept is simple. Children are offered a book as they enter the bus. They can choose to read it on the bus, put it back at the end of their trip, or take it home to help build their home libraries. The book does not need to be returned. 

Unfortunately, Stories on the Move was suspended as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, with the support through a donation from @Dieterich Bank, this initiative comes alive again this week. #d7proud 

This collaboration between community entities such as Dieterich Bank, the Edwardsville Public Library, First Student Bus Transportation Company and District 7 is just one of many ways the community works together for the good of our children. #d7proud

Last night, Tigers Giving Forward held its talent Last night, Tigers Giving Forward held its talent show Extravaganza to help raise money that is used to support District 7 families and staff members who suffer from chronic health issues. More than $700 was raised last night with a large portion of that coming from students buying raffle tickets to shave the heads of Mrs. Julia Doll, Mr. Dan Morrissey, and Mrs. Jessica DeWald. 

To date, Tigers Giving Forward has donated $20,000 to families suffering from financial hardship due to gas, food, childcare due to hospitalizations, appointments, etc. 

EPIC and Student Council also joined forces to make this happen. #d7proud

Woodland Elementary 3rd grade teacher Heather Chapman has always known she’s wanted to be a teacher – and for 28 years that’s what she has been doing. 
 
“Both of my parents were teachers, so I guess it runs in my blood.” 
 
Chapman loves making meaningful connections with students and their families. 
 
Her favorite thing to teach is language arts. 
 
“It gives me an opportunity to see inside the brains of my students. When they do a deep dive on a piece of literature, they express their opinions and experiences, and I am often surprised by the deep thinking that happens. I love when their ideas surprise me; it makes me smile every single time!” 
 
In addition to third graders making her smile, Chapman also said the best part of teaching that grade is that they are funny, sweet, and adorable. 
 
When she’s not in the classroom, Chapman likes to spend time with family and friends.  #d7proud

The Edwardsville and Collinsville School Districts The Edwardsville and Collinsville School Districts used their rivalry as an incentive to directly help their communities through the United Way. 

Both school districts held United Way campaigns during October with superintendents Dr. Patrick Shelton (Edwardsville) and Dr. Brad Skertich (Collinsville) agreeing to a friendly competition to see which district could raise the most money per employee. The losing superintendent would have to wear the other school’s colors at a basketball game between the two conference foes. 

Together, the two schools collected $13,395.24 with Edwardsville winning the challenge.
 
As a result, Dr. Skertich joined Dr. Shelton I’m wearing Tiger orange last night during the Edwardsville and Collinsville boys’ basketball game (in which the Tigers won in OT!).

“While it was a friendly competition between two great districts, the winners are truly the many organizations in Madison County that benefit from the United Way, and the students and families served by those organizations,” said Dr. Shelton. “I appreciate employees in both districts contributing to such a worthy cause.” #d7proud
