Last May, Mrs. Beth Rehberg, Teacher of the Visually Impaired and Assistive Technology Coordinator, and Dr. Melissa Busbin were awarded $3,000 through the Skoot Dimon Healing Arts Chair Grant from the Tift County Foundation for Educational Excellence.
Today, we’re thrilled to show what that grant is now making possible. 💙
Using these funds, we have launched a hands-on project to create wireless adaptive toys for students with disabilities across the district. These toys support accessibility, independence, and joyful play, and they are being built right here in our classrooms.
This initiative blends:
🛠️ STEM skills
♿ Assistive technology
💙 Service-based learning
🚀 Real-world engineering with real impact
We are incredibly grateful to the Tift County Foundation for Educational Excellence and the Skoot Dimon Healing Arts Chair for believing in innovative, student-driven projects that make our schools more accessible for all learners.
💡 Pictured: The early phases of the project
Innovation + Inclusion = Impact 💙

Science in Motion! Mrs. Hathaway’s Physics class wrapped up our energy unit with an awesome Rollercoaster Project! 🤩
Students designed coasters featuring at least three changes in height (think loops and thrilling hills!). They then had to apply the Law of Conservation of Energy, solving mathematically for how Gravitational Potential Energy converted into Kinetic Energy.
It was a fantastic way to see the theoretical concepts come to life, proving that energy is neither created nor destroyed! Great work, future engineers! 👏

Tift CTI students had a great day of Georgia CTI Pre-ETS Training. Dr. Tonja Tift spent the morning teaching students how to manage stress, understand cause and effect, and recognize their personal triggers. They also explored high-demand careers in Georgia and across the nation, including Tech, Agriculture, Healthcare, Education, Entertainment, and Construction/Trade fields.
Also, we had the honor of having Tift County High alum, entrepreneur and business owner, and Tifton City Councilman M. Jay Hall, who shared his education and career journey. He encouraged students to work hard, set goals, and remember that opportunity is available to anyone willing to go after it.
We wrapped up the day with delicious chicken wings provided by Dr. Tift. Grateful for all the support and encouragement poured into our students today. #RaisingTheBar #CTAEDelivers #ChallengeTheImpossible #4theT #CTI
