CREW and PLC Time
While students experience CREW, (Create, Read, Explore, Wonder), teachers meet in PLC to collaborate on how to personalize learning for their students. It's been a powerful learning experience for our teachers, and kids will reap the benefits for sure!

Genius Fridays
The students are so excited about Genius Friday. I had a mom tell me she was so glad we have Genius Friday because her kiddo jumps right out of bed on Friday mornings. Love that!
Studies have shown how choice and inquiry driven learning increases student achievement. Students feel empowered to take ownership of their learning through a passion or project they are interested in. Many students choose their own passion or genius to explore, while others choose clubs of interest such as baking, crochet, art, and robotics.
