Bulletin Board Preparation

The Teacher Cadets in conjunction with Mrs. Smith's class is on a mission to decorate and beautify Mauldin High School. We are adopting every neglected bulletin board in the hallways and giving them a facelift. We hope to promote school spirit and give the students ownership and pride in a part of their school. Look for boards to be finished on Monday, February 26th.

T-SHIRT TIME!

Our class t-shirts are finally ready. Here is a picture of the art proof. I made our suggestions to put "Teacher Cadet" on the back and Mauldin High School 2006-2007 on the front. I will request a price for hooded sweatshirts for those who are interested. Also, t-shirts will be around $10. Let me know what size you need and what kind of shirt you would like. Thank you Erin for the art. Thank you Custom Signs in Mauldin for the shirts!

A Cadet Christmas!

All the cadets (well most of them) went to Mrs. Turner's house for a Christmas Party/Service Project. We ate pizza, exchanged gifts and decorated about 200 cupcakes to deliver to MHS teachers for Christmas. Let's see - we had frosting EVERYWHERE - and it seems like many cupcakes should have been called poopcakes!

Parent Teacher Conferences

The cadets participated in mock parent/teacher conference. They paired up and were given a "son" or "daughter" with a problem related to school; anything from drugs to teen pregnancy, sport eligibility problems or difficulties in scheduling. The cadets role played the situations with the help of Assistant Administrators, Elizabeth Leonard & Don Alewine as well as Coach Frady, Athletic Director. Chris Smutzer, curriculum coordinator also participated in the conference.
