Interview: Grenada educator talks new school year
SUMMARY: Keisha Harrison, a teacher at Grenada Elementary School, discussed her goals as a teacher, which include making learning fun and helping students fall in love with math. She also emphasized the importance of meeting the individual needs of each student and ensuring their overall well-being. Grenada Elementary School offers exciting things like a kidsium, an in-house museum, and the teachers work collaboratively to support the students. Harrison provided tips for parents, emphasizing the importance of communication and asking for help when needed. Grenada Elementary School is back in session for a full week, and Harrison expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to speak about the school.
SUMMARY: In less than two weeks, Jackson will hold a Democratic mayoral primary runoff, with Senator John Horn leading the initial election with over 12,000 votes, while incumbent Mayor Chokwe A. Lumumba garnered over 4,000 votes. Election Commissioner Sandra McCall urges higher voter turnout, as only 23% of registered voters participated in the primary. Many voters express surprise at Horn’s strong performance and attribute Lumumba’s decline in support to recent legal issues. Concerns over polling accessibility persist, with some voters advocating for app-based voting. Historically, runoff elections experience lower turnout, prompting McCall’s hopes for absentee voting to begin soon.
