The CityLab Connect

Week of December 19th, 2022

A Message From Our Lead Teacher, Dustin Good

We've almost made it!


Next week marks the end of the first semester. I know that we are all looking forward to a restful break. Since August, our students have been busy creating projects centered around Architecture, Urban Planning, Environmental Sustainability, as well as their core curricular classes. To celebrate their work, our campus will be hosting a Student Project Showcase next Wednesday, December 21, from 10:30 pm to 12:30 pm. We encourage any CityLab parent, family member, or community partner to attend. During the Showcase all CityLab students will have an opportunity to present a project. The Showcase has become a semi-annual tradition at CityLab and has been a fantastic way for students to share their accomplishments. See the flyer below for more details and a registration link. We look forward to seeing you there!

Thanks,

Dustin Good
