What better way to decorate a school?
Click here for a blog on how to create a classroom community student photo wall from a teacher who attended the Ron Clark Academy and was inspired by this practice!
APS teachers were challenged to videotape a creative, academically rigorous lesson happening in their classroom and describe the video and the learning that took place. From the submissions, four teachers and one administrator were selected to visit the Ron Clark Academy on Dec.8-9, 2016. This blog tells the story of the challenge the teachers accepted and the trip to Atlanta, Georgia!

Building Community
Pictures of parents, staff and students decorate the walls of the Ron Clark Academy. The pictures help build and strengthen their community. Students' dreams are shared, family pictures are shared and school events are shared. Students proudly show their photos to visitors, because the photos tell a story and reflect their pride and joy of being part of the Ron Clark community. The photos are replaced each year so that current events and student photos are always on display. The Academy has a photographer that captures some of the photos, and photos are also collected from parents, staff and students.
