SE*ED: Seniors Go Back to School by Re-Thinking Education at GHS

Education data is pushing for changes to better prepare students for post-secondary education and career opportunities. On Monday, Aug. 31, at the Grinnell Regional Medical Center Senior Education program, Kevin Seney, Grinnell Community High School principal, will share changes in education and new programming to ensure that all students are building the skills they need to be successful, contributing members in their community.  
Seney will discuss new “buzzwords” in education and explain how schools are departing from the standard, traditional methods of educating our students. He plans to share changes in the Grinnell Community High School, including professional development initiatives for the past four years, new English curriculum scope and sequence, new welding program, project lead the way, the innovative projects lab, and a new business internship program with Grinnell Mutual Reinsurance Company.
This program is free and open to the public. It will be held in the Drake Community Library with refreshments beginning at 9:30 a.m.
Parking is available at the Drake Community Library, along Park Street, on Fifth Avenue, and in the First Presbyterian Church parking lot. Seniors needing transportation may call GRMC Communications and Development, 641-236-2593, by Thursday before the program.
