🌱 Our Greenhouse students have been busy exploring plant propagation and seed starting! They’re taking classroom knowledge and applying it to real-world greenhouse practices, learning how to grow healthy plants from the very beginning.
Watching seeds sprout and cuttings take root is just the start of their hands-on learning journey! 🌿

Last week in Explore & Enrich, our students put their creativity (and sweet tooth!) to the test by baking and decorating cupcakes 🍰✨.
They proudly shared their treats with the high school staff, spreading smiles along with frosting!
Each week, the group takes on a new food project—just one of the many hands-on ways they get to explore new skills and experiences. We can’t wait to see what’s on the menu next! 👩🍳👨🍳

🌍✨ Learning Through History!
Mrs. Gregoire’s 7th grade Social Studies class is diving deep into the past! Students explored how people’s perspectives shaped the sources, artifacts, and fossils they created and left behind. 🏺📜🦴
By looking through a world history lens, they’re discovering that every artifact tells a story—not just about what happened, but how people understood their world. 💡🔎
