Walls to
Windows Expansion
In the Classroom and Beyond
GMS math teacher Leigh Ann Melton is the GSD Teacher of the Year
Superintendent's
Message
Dr. David Daigneault
Grenada School District’s Walls to Windows program, our multi-faceted initiative to impact grades
K-12, has been organized to provide a success
pathway for our students. GSD is expanding and
refining the Walls to Windows components to prepare students to be life-long learners and productive
members of society. Walls to Windows begins with
a new world class Pre-Kindergarten program and
progresses to a pilot group of advanced learners that
will participate in comprehensive Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) training in
elementary and middle school. In addition, high
school students will have real world experiences in
new Biomedical Science and Engineering courses. Career and college pathways will be enhanced
with expanded opportunities to enroll in dual credit
/ dual enrollment classes and online coursework.
Finally, high school students will begin regular
ACT preparation using research-based methods of
instruction.
Embarking on a cultural renaissance, the Grenada School District will start by increasing student
readiness for kindergarten by opening a Pre-K
Program where state of the art learning centers and
proven learning strategies will challenge students
who are learning at a higher academic level. Advanced learners in grades two to six will be engaged
in STEM experiences via the Project Lead the Way
(PLTW) curriculum. The elementary educational
experience, PLTW Launch, integrates science and
math with technology and engineering in studentcentered, project-based activities that prepare the
students for the more advanced middle school
experience. PLTW Gateway in GMS uses coding,
robotics, flight, space, and DNA to engage students’
natural curiosity and imagination. Creative problem
solving, applied to challenges such as crime scene
analysis, is at the heart of the PLTW curriculum.
The District plans to expand on this program to
include more students over the next few years.
The PLTW curriculum exposes students to a number
of careers – especially careers in medicine and engineering. The District is adding the first of several
courses in PLTW Biomedicine and PLTW Engineering at the high school level.
Pathways to college and careers will be strengthened by opportunities for advanced high school
students to earn college credit. The District works
closely with Holmes Community College and has
an impressive number of dual credit / dual enrollment courses as well as online courses available for
students who qualify. Additional counseling and
support will be given at the middle school and at the
high school level to aid students in gaining valuable
work skills and in exploration of possible career
choices. The addition of ACT preparatory classes
will help our District make the possibility of graduation from high school with college credit a reality
for an ever-increasing number of students.
To coordinate and oversee this ambitious initiative, the Grenada School District has hired Sherry
Worsham to serve as the Director of Innovation in
Education. Stating that she feels privileged to be
of service to the community, Mrs. Worsham enthusiastically embraces this opportunity to build on
the impressive past accomplishments of the awardwinning District and to be a partner in improving the
quality of education for all students.

Grenada Middle School Teacher,
Leigh Ann Melton chosen as the
Teacher of the Year.
2016 GSD
Leigh Ann Melton is a dedicated,
tireless and generous educator, one
who gives freely of her time and
knowledge, consistently inspires her
students to excellence and epitomizes
cooperation. For these reasons she’s
earned the honor of 2015-16 Teacher
of the Year in the Grenada School
District. A 13-year veteran of GSD,
Melton was honored by her peers and
administrators May 24, as the District
said farewell to retirees and gave
staff and faculty their final sendoff
for the summer. “Leigh Ann is an
absolute professional educator,” said
Superintendent Dr. Daigneault, as
he invited Melton forward to receive
her award, amid a standing ovation.
“She is committed to performance
and the improvement of her students.
Grenada School District is proud to
have her.”
Among her most recent accolades, Melton led the Math Team to
a fourth place ranking statewide in
the PARCC assessment last year. A
Grenada graduate, Melton has poured
herself into the job she loves and
aptly serves as the department’s lead
teacher, according to her principal,
Lyle Williams. “She is innovative in
her methods, creative in her classroom management and caring when
addressing the needs of her students,”
said Williams.
A dedicated wife and mother,
Melton extends her lifestyle of
service beyond the regular hours and
four walls of the classroom. She has
lent her expertise to the 21st Cen-
tury Program’s tutoring sessions and
taught during the extended school
year.
Since earning her bachelor’s
degree in elementary education from
Delta State University as well as her
master’s degree in curriculum and
instruction from the University of
Mississippi, Melton has continued
to bolster her education through
development opportunities, demonstrating to her students that learning
is a lifelong endeavor. “Mrs. Melton
truly represents the ideal Mississippi
educator,” said Williams. “In every
area of consideration, from the classroom to her personal commitments,
she exemplifies the very finest in our
field.”
“I want to thank the District for
bestowing this honor on me,” said
Melton. It was very unexpected. I
work with a great group of people
at Grenada Middle School. We all
work very hard and do everything we
can to help the students. I am lucky
enough to work with a great team of
teachers.”

Imaginative Emojis
GETC students beautify campus with expressions of the heart
your Facebook status receives,”
said Harrell.
The students agreed upon 12
emojis, 12 expressions of their
feelings, as the basis for their
mural. Local artist and naturalist, Robin Whitfield, who had
coached the young artists at
Grenada Enrichment and Transition Center, explained the project as she fitted one of the last
tiles into place. Emojis, Whitfield said, are cartoonish, little
faces used to convey emotions
online. The students dreamed up
the emojis, then brought them
to life by painting them onto
wooden tiles. The mosaic covers
a 10-foot-by-10-foot section of
the hallway.
Moving left to right, from
the top, downward, the initial
impression one gets of the first,
globular visage, rendered in
squares of wintry blue, with a
fracas of white, straw-like hair,
jutting out like a laurel wreath,
is of an imp, somewhat agrarian, like Puck from “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” The
discomfiture of the mouth is
troubling, though. It’s not quite
snarling, but it’s clearly less
than enthused, a bit vinegary,
very different from the honeyed,
frolicking disposition of Shakespeare’s woodsy merrymaker.
The next face might be Kermit
the Frog’s sister – well, his evil
sister. She’s green, of course,
with a feathery sweep of Farrah
Fawcett hair, but she’s lacking
the bewitching prettiness of
Charley’s most popular angel.
Perhaps it’s her blistering scowl.
Most people know emojis
by using them on social media
sites, like Facebook. They’re
like coins of cultural currency
among Millennials, navigational
beacons that help them steer
through the ambiguously silent
waters of written texts. Just in
case the abbreviation “LOL” or
“laughing out loud,” which, although it’s only about a decade
old, is worn smooth as a river
stone, doesn’t quite make clear
one’s bursting amusement, the
“laughing till I cry” emoji, with
a toothsome grin and streaming
tears, leaves little to the imagination.
Symbolic language
The range of emotions depicted in the emojis appeals to every
student, Whitfield said. “This
pixelated imagery showed up on
my radar when I was playing the
videogame Minecraft with my
nephew,” she added. Whitfield
held out her arms, her green,
paint-flecked Starbucks’ barista’s apron untied from her waist
and dangling around her neck.
With school drawing rapidly to
a close, the hallway was unnaturally quiet. Whitfield raked
her hair from her face with the
back of her wrist, like someone
used to having paint or some
other transmittable substance on
their hands. “This just feels like
teenagers to me,” she said.
The great, Irish writer Oscar
Wilde once said that art is
neither moral nor immoral. The
same might be said of social
media and other ways of being
in community online: they are
value-neutral, both nourishing
and poisonous, depending on
how they’re used.
According to Ashley Harrell,
a counselor at Grenada Middle
School, online interaction has
become a central component in
students’ lives. “Social media
is a great way to stay connected
and increases students’ knowl-
edge of technology, which is
paramount,” said Harrell. Students can bridge miles and even
continents to share ideas, Harrell
said, as well as keep up healthy,
filial bonds.
Life online is also fraught
with peril, Harrell cautioned.
Cyber bullying has replaced taking another kid’s lunch money
as the most notorious form of
schoolyard coercion.
Whitfield nodded for sixthgrader Jarvis Johnson to climb
the stepladder. With his thumb
and forefinger, Johnson carefully fitted the screwdriver bit into
the groove, then squeezed the
drill trigger, sinking the screw
and anchoring the corner of another tile. The image had spiked
hair, a menacingly furrowed
brow and teeth that looked to
have been sharpened with a file.
The profile was blazoned in
combative swaths of cerulean
and magenta, encircled by a
corona of indigo.
Cyber consciousness, according to Harrell, is a seminal
virtue in today’s world. “Remember, your importance is not
based on the number of likes
Unifying expression
As they finished their last assignments for the year, students
poked their heads out of classrooms like prairie dogs, hoping
to get in on the drilling and
general racket-making. Sixthgrader D.J. Smith was content to
hang back and observe, at least
for the moment.
“Emojis are a different kind
of language,” said Smith. “They
show your emotions in a unique
way, through a visual image.”
Cordesia Sykes agreed. “You
don’t have to spell out what
you’re feeling, but emojis get
your point across, anyway,”
Sykes said, pushing her tiny
hands out in a giving gesture. “You don’t have to say it out
loud,” chimed in Floyd Yates,
laughing, uncertainly at first,
then, suddenly, realizing the
irony of his interjection.
As Whitfield sees it, emojis
are unique extensions of cyber
life. They’re images, almost
perfectly evocative of the
contemporary, cultural moment,
expressions of values that are
important both online and off.
Emojis are symbols, Whitfield
said, helpful, if not vitally
important, born of cyber life,
to help young people express
complex and hard-to-articulate
emotions.
“So many forces are driving
us apart today, trying to create
fear,” said Whitfield. “Our hope
is that this piece will represent the ways in which we can
authentically communicate, in
which we can come together and
be unified.”
