BCCCA Teacher Academy students had a great day at the Aspiring Educators of Tomorrow event at Kennesaw State University!

CONGRATULATIONS to Mrs. Meghan Johnson for being selected as the BCCCA 2022-23 Teacher of the Year! Her colleagues nominated and selected Mrs. Johnson for this prestigious award because of her amazing knowledge, charisma, and skills in the classroom. The students love and appreciate all that she brings into the classroom by enriching the environment through her love of teaching.

We all have a need for support, but we also have personal ways we like for others to give support to us. So, what does it look like or feel like to you? To give
support it must be personal, and we need to understand it personally! Look at the following five unique dimensions.
Which of these five is most important to you?
• Offer practical help to me when I’m struggling or overwhelmed.
• Ask me about the best way you can help me.
• Attend my concerts, sporting events, family events, or competitions to show
your care and support for me.
• Offer to support me by introducing me to new friends or new ideas.
• Adapt your plans or schedule to be with me when I am struggling.

Have you ever been left alone when you really needed someone to help
you? To be supportive means that we must come alongside someone else and help them with a problem or struggle. In a time when we have been isolated for so long, we must be more intentional to be there for one another!
Show You Care: Talk to another person about their need for support. Notice what is important to them. Try saying something like, “I’m trying to learn more about how to give support. What does support look like, or sound like to you?” Finally, plan a time when you can give support to this person. Put it on your calendar before you leave!

Congratulations to the Academy's first ICARE Interns of the Month!
These students were selected by their teachers because they embody I.C.A.R.E. in their daily lives. INTEGRITY, COMPASSION, ACCOUNTABILITY, RESPECT, AND EXCELLENCE are simply part of who they are.
Congratulations to:

As we wrap up the first month of #BartowCares4U, we celebrated our students showing respect by being present at school. Mrs. Burkhalter's 1st Period class had the best attendance rate in our morning session, and Ms. Richard's 3rd Period class has the best attendance in our afternoon session.
We also love the bulletin board Mrs. Burkhalter's class made for the program!

Make your appointment today!!!!

What is Bartow Cares?
Bartow Cares is a county-wide, year-long initiative through a partnership with Relational Values Alliance that unites Bartow County Schools, Cartersville-Bartow County Chamber of Commerce, Bartow Collaborative, government and media leadership, the faith community, and many others.
Bartow commits to live out relational values such as respect, support, and appreciation in multiple places: at home, at work, at school, and in faith. With caring-connections great things happen, so in Bartow County we want to know everybody’s story and show that somebody cares!

The 9-8-8 direct, national three-digit line went live July 16, 2022, and accepts calls, texts, and chats. Trained staff members answer all calls, texts, and chats 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, addressing immediate needs and helping connect individuals with care resources.
