Dear GHS Innovation Lab Students, Parents, and GHS Community Partners:
We did it! Here we are in June, thinking back to this spring when we made the daunting, overnight transition to Distance Learning in our GHS Innovation Lab (InLab) program.
Who knew how Project-Based Learning (PBL) would work remotely in a virtual environment?
So much uncertainty, so many challenges. How would students finish their projects for competitions like the NPR Student Podcast Challenge or exhibitions of learning for National History Day?
No, it has not been easy. But you know what? Our students kept going, kept pushing themselves and stayed engaged, connected, and grew as cooperative learners, thinkers, and communicators beyond our wildest dreams.
The result of learning and implementing PBL in a Virtual space? Grace under pressure.
In this newsletter, we highlight the roller-coaster ride of Distance Learning and the amazing work of our InLab students. We also say a final farewell and best of luck to our Senior Class.
Lastly, we would like to extend a huge THANK YOU and CONGRATS to everyone for making it through this DL journey together.
Wishing you peace and good health as we head into summer!

Living Portraits
What helped you get through Quarantine?
The things I couldn't live without were, my book on Nomadic living (I look at this at least once a day), my computer, my calculator, COFFEE, my Ipad/phone, exercising (a group of friends and I do a social distanced workout group every morning at 8:30), books (I have read at least one book a week), My airpods, makeup (I have been playing with fun colors and extreme makeup techniques), and my blankets (being cozy has been a must for me). - Jennie Olmsted
