PACE Newsletter
Week of September 21st-25th
Dear PACE Parents,
This week was our final leadership lesson. The first part of the lesson we discussed our upcoming community service project, “Socktober”. We brainstormed ideas on how we could promote this idea. We also worked on teambuilding with a building challenge. The students had to build a “shelter” using newspapers, tape and trash bags without being able to talk!
We wrapped up our lessons about The Dot and making our mark by learning about the artwork of George Seurat. It is amazing how all of those tiny dots combine to create masterpieces!
Have a great week,
