Cycle 2 Week 10 Midweek Minute

Good afternoon,

It was nice to see everyone who was able to come for the final project presentations last week. Your questions and feedback are always appreciated by the students. We were impressed with their confidence in sharing their projects and the creativity that went into both the projects and the presentations.Thank you to those who helped treat the students with pizza and snacks. 

Now that theme tests have been taken, students are working on completing their Personal World and Literature final projects and working on their end of cycle work.
