Summer School Forest Experiences class in session 1 and 2 was a blast but it took a little bit of a change when the storm came through and took down several trees, but these foresters never flinched! They jumped right in and helped pick up limbs and made the school forest usable for the community and our class. Hard work with great rewards! They also explored the forest and learned about berries, invasive plants and insects, and how to climb trees. They enjoyed making fairy houses and eating s'mores and apple pudgy pies. Everyone went home dirty, tired, and happy!
The final destination for the Passport to the World class brought them to vibrant Brazil. Students delved into the country's rich culture, created colorful carnival masks, savored delicious pão de queijo, and enjoyed refreshing Brazilian lemonade. They also played a traditional Brazilian game. What an incredible adventure this class has been on this week!
These volleyball stars made impressive strides this week, showing remarkable improvement in summer school volleyball. They had a blast together, and we hope to see many of these talented students joining the school team next year!
