During the 1999-2000 school year Nutrition was the emphasis of most of our curriculum work. USC was awarded a Team Nutrition Grant in August 1999. These funds were used throughout the year to play for substitutes so that our health teachers and our life skills teachers could develop and enhance our present nutrition curriculum. This year's curriculum will benefit from the planning as well as the supplemental educational materials that USC was able to purchase with this grant.
Materials range from videos, to games, to classroom manipulatives.
In the elementary the main focus this year was the implementation of the new reading series. Many days were spent with grade levels meeting to plan activities and to work through the new series. Grade levels also met this summer to plan for the communications curriculum and other curriculum areas for the upcoming school year. In the high school Economics, German, and Human Anatomy were implemented. In the middle school the 8th grade Geography classes experienced a new textbook.
