Research indicates sports, clubs and activities can help boost self-confidence and perseverance in children. This year’s Bellin Run was the perfect opportunity for our students to do just that! Congratulations to the Father Allouez Catholic School Running Team for the training they did this season and for finishing strong in the race!

Fun, fitness, faith, and spirit all came together in the best way at the run and we could not be prouder of our students.

See you next year!

My name is Sam Skifton, and I am an ELA and technology middle school teacher at Father Allouez Catholic School. I am currently in my 4th year at FACS and am proud to be part of the GRACE school system! I have no formal background in technology, but I always love to experiment with new technology and incorporate it into my technology class.

What did you enjoy about being a presenter at the GRACE Technology Inservice?

When I was invited to be a presenter for the GRACE Technology Inservice, I was initially nervous but excited. It was such a joy to share my experience with Adafruit’s Circuit Playground Express with other GRACE teachers! My group and I covered the basics of the Circuit Playground and coding, and we even were able to test a new aspect of it that I hadn’t tried yet. I really appreciated that they had fun experimenting with me!

How are you currently using the technology you presented about in your classroom?

I am currently teaching an Adafruit class this trimester as an elective class. FACS has been teaching elective classes such as Robotics, Leadership, and Career Exploration for two years, and it has been so much fun using the Circuit Playground for my Adafruit class. The kids love the creativity that the class involves, and they run with it! Students have created hot potato games, magic wands, nightlights, and even music boxes just with one little piece of technology.

What should teachers do if they want to learn more about Adafruits?
