Teaching Grant Challenges
READING TO THE RESCUE
The Reading to the Rescue project, which is funded through the MHEF Teaching Grant Challenge program, is a partnership between the HHS Academy at Mountain Home High School Career Academies, the Mountain Home Kindergarten, Auto Services and the North Central Arkansas Humane Society. The goals of the project include learning business skills, increasing literacy, and promoting awareness for the adoption of animals. HHS students are working closely with Tammy Knight from Auto Services to plan and implement various events throughout the school year within the school and community.
Students have been involved in marketing the needs of the Humane Society using a variety of methods. Under the guidance of Tammy Knight, students have discussed target markets, developed teams to implement marketing strategies, and learned to critique outcomes of various projects. The high school students will be organizing a project event whereby Humane Society dogs will visit the Kindergarten so the younger students can read to the animals.
