Science in Motion! Mrs. Hathaway’s Physics class wrapped up our energy unit with an awesome Rollercoaster Project! 🤩

Students designed coasters featuring at least three changes in height (think loops and thrilling hills!). They then had to apply the Law of Conservation of Energy, solving mathematically for how Gravitational Potential Energy converted into Kinetic Energy.

It was a fantastic way to see the theoretical concepts come to life, proving that energy is neither created nor destroyed! Great work, future engineers! 👏

Tift CTI students had a great day of Georgia CTI Pre-ETS Training. Dr. Tonja Tift spent the morning teaching students how to manage stress, understand cause and effect, and recognize their personal triggers. They also explored high-demand careers in Georgia and across the nation, including Tech, Agriculture, Healthcare, Education, Entertainment, and Construction/Trade fields.
Also, we had the honor of having Tift County High alum, entrepreneur and business owner, and Tifton City Councilman M. Jay Hall, who shared his education and career journey. He encouraged students to work hard, set goals, and remember that opportunity is available to anyone willing to go after it.
We wrapped up the day with delicious chicken wings provided by Dr. Tift. Grateful for all the support and encouragement poured into our students today. #RaisingTheBar #CTAEDelivers #ChallengeTheImpossible #4theT #CTI

💙 FBLA in Action: Serving Our Community 💙
This evening, some of our FBLA members had the opportunity to provide and serve a hot meal to the residents at Brother Charlie’s Mission—a powerful experience in compassion, leadership, and community service. 🍽️🤝
Students spent time fellowshipping with residents, learning more about the mission’s services, and seeing firsthand how small acts of kindness can make a big impact. They also worked side-by-side with fellow FBLA members - some they hadn’t met before - giving them a chance to build relationships and practice the soft skills that make strong future leaders. 🌟
We are incredibly proud of our students for stepping up, serving with heart, and representing our chapter with excellence. Service is leadership in action! 💼✨

Honoring History and Heroes

Ms. Newell’s U.S. History students have been diving into World War II—studying key battles and the courage of those who fought in them. To help organize their learning for EOC preparation, students created interactive foldables highlighting major events and turning points of the war.

They also reflected on the importance of our veterans, recognizing that the freedoms we enjoy today exist because of the bravery and sacrifices of these men and women. ❤️🤍💙

🌟 Day 2 of the National FFA Convention! 🌟
FFA members started the day with the Opening Session, where the National FFA Officers officially opened the convention, and they heard an inspiring keynote from A’ric Jackson, who encouraged members to lead with purpose and confidence. 💙💛
In the afternoon, they toured Tuttle Orchards in Greenfield, Indiana — a fourth-generation family farm that’s been serving the community for over 90 years. 🍎 The Tuttles grow over 30 varieties of apples across 45 acres of orchards. Students learned about the apple growing cycle, from bloom to harvest, and how the orchard markets its apples directly to consumers through their on-site farm market, cider mill, and U-pick experiences.
It was a hands-on lesson in how innovation, diversification, and community connection keep family farms like Tuttle’s successful for generations. 🌾🍏

They ended the day at Newfields Harvest Nights, where they explored the gardens and learned about plant varieties, landscape design, and the creativity behind the pumpkin displays. 🍂🎃 Such a great day combining fun and learning! 🌿✨
