Thank you so much TylerISD Foundation for funding 2 grants to our teachers here at Tyler Legacy!
Christine Morton-Stepp and James Horner are bringing drones to the classroom after scoring a $5,000 grant sponsored by Tyler ISD Foundation’s grant partner, Fitzpatrick Architects, with their "The Drone Rangers" project. 🚁✨🌐📽️
What does the grant do?
The Drone Rangers grant empowers ROTC students to explore the Principles of IT, AV Production, and drone technology. With ten drones and a curriculum for 20 students, they'll learn coding, flight control, video production, and participating in TryDrones competitions.
Congratulations to Amber Barnarda for earning a $643 grant that’s bringing “RAID Boxes” to Tyler Legacy, thanks to the Tyler ISD Foundation for her project, "UnlockEd: Unlocking Engagement in the Classroom.” 🔐📦✨
What does the grant do?
RAID Boxes are physical, hands-on boxes with locks, and teachers can create various engaging activities for students to “break into” them. The RAID Boxes are designed with four key elements in mind: RTI, Assess, Instruct, Differentiate.
The past 2 weekends our students have participated in both the Freshman All-Region Clinic and Concert as well as the High School All-Region Clinic and Concert. We had over 70 students make the All-Region Bands. They got to work with clinicians such as Marc Nichelson from China Springs HS, Eric Rath from Canyon High School, and Dr. Caroline Hand from The University of Oklahoma. The students put together an awesome concert in approximately 9 rehearsal hours. They had a great time participating in the bands with other students from our region!
Congrats Tyler Legacy Band!

We are always striving for improvement at Tyler Legacy. What better way to do that than learning from our own teacher leaders? Yesterday our Master Teacher, Ms. Clary, Algebra teacher, Ms. Barnard, and Spanish teacher, Mr. Hartsock led an engaging, hands-on professional development focusing on student engagement that was full of different strategies, activities, and ideas teachers could take back and use in their classrooms. Dr. John Hattie's research shows that this has a highly positive effect size on student learning. This professional development opportunity is helping us to meet our campus goals to grow and support teacher leaders and increase student engagement in the classroom. #LegacyLeads
