A Celebration of Collaboration

Emily Vega, a student at J.T. Moore Middle School, and Bobbi-Lynn Blaser, a seventh-grade teacher at East Literature Magnet School, look at a life-size model of a human body that details the cardiovascular system. The project by Charles Dunlap was one of many showcased during a May 15 reception at Peabody's Social Religious Building. Metro students, Schools for Thought teachers, Peabody researchers and others working together to improve student achievement invited the community to view their works in progress. The event marked the first year of the Technology Innovation Challenge Grant awarded to Metro Schools last fall./Photo by Billy Kingsley
