Creatively Building Community

Creatively Building Community

Students continue to learn, grow, and demonstrate their achievements every day. The learning will continue throughout the fourth quarter and into the final days of the school year. Our teachers are building a strong foundation for our students each day. During the first week of June our students will engage in creative problem-solving, collaborative, and career focused experiences. Please stay tuned for opportunities to connect, present, and contribute to these enriching experiences.
