Week at a Glance 4/22 - 4/26 I Know Contest!

A previous years I-Know Contest!

Hello and welcome to the new week!

Families & Friends,

It is easy to forget, but important to remember that learning is not merely some mental game that shows up on classroom assignments, homework, or tests.  Real learning leads to competency and skill-building in the real world.  Our campus celebrates this aspect of learning with events we host called "experiential learning."  In the coming week we will learn to make and cook pasta from scratch!  Using hand dexterity, paying attention to proper ingredients, and measuring accurately, we will put our creative powers to good use.  Activities like this are so much fun for students and staff!  It is in these moments that students get to see learning come to life!
