Kudos
Kudos this week goes to our STEM science teachers. Ms. Philip reached out to Mr. Rick Yarbrough - Director of Development for Generation Park - and asked him to visit with our students for their first PBL. He came on Friday and did a wonderful job of working with our students and serving as a consultant for their project design. This made the project even more relevant and meaningful and he was able to help them make career connections as well. Ms. Allen and Ms. Philip will be finishing up their Generation Park designs this week. Great job ladies! Check out their tweet here: https://twitter.com/GenParkHou/status/918851574968885250
