Our secondary staff has been working to bring more hands-on learning opportunities to students through Problem Based Learning (PBL). Over the past three summers, staff have attended PBL World, hosted by the Buck Institute, to learn about and create lessons that offer numerous benefits for both staff and students including: fostering collaboration, communication, and creativity, while connecting learning to real-world applications. PBL is proven to improve knowledge retention and promote a deeper understanding of the subject matter for all learners.
We are excited to engage students in a variety of real world problems this year and expand the relevance to what they are learning while answering this common question, "Why do I need to know this?".

Congratulations to incoming 7th grade student, Chloe Walsh, for being selected to attend SPARCL-ER Camp. This exclusive and competitive camp is for students age 12-14. Only 12 students in the nation were selected to attend this overnight week long camp in Florida!
Chloe was the head coder on her team while there and even got to experience using the largest telescope in Florida to look at all kinds of amazing things in space!
