A Note From The Principal

Students Teaching Students

Our 6th-grade students delved into the rich history of Constantinople during their social studies class. Going beyond traditional learning, they embodied historical figures and presented their newfound knowledge as living wax figures in the library. Each student, or team, focused on specific lines and facts about their chosen character, coming to life when tapped on the script or hand. Witnessing this interactive experience, I observed a 3rd-grade class attentively taking notes on clipboards, highlighting the collaborative effort among teachers across different grade levels to enrich the students' learning experience. I love to see how our students can learn from each other!
