Judy Hayes Casey is a Family and Consumer Sciences teacher at Miamisburg High School. Mrs. Casey teaches 10th grade Career Prep, 9th grade Viking Prep, formally called Introduction to Family and Consumer Sciences. Back in September, when MHS started in-person instruction, teachers were asked to take the first three days of school to focus on the social emotional aspects of students and not so much on content. Mrs. Casey participated in a Nasco Education presentation this past summer and immediately knew she wanted to start the year with a Community Circle Project. She made a template on card stock so the circles would be uniform in size. All of her classes participated in the project where they each made one circle, creating a grand total of around 110 circles. The prompt she used was simply, “What did you learn during The Covid Quarantine of 2020?” Mrs. Casey's students greatly enjoyed the project. Many of them were so proud of their circles they took pictures to show their families, as well as proudly sharing them with their friends. The best part of the project was listening to the students talk about what they went through during quarantine and how their lives changed.
