Senior Meeting at Dallas Central Library and AT&T Discovery District (September 9)
Our counselor Ms. Crawford held a meeting with CityLab Seniors to review high school transcripts, college applications, scholarships, and graduation requirements. Following the meeting, students had an opportunity to explore one of Downtown’s newest public spaces: The AT&T Discovery District.
Dallas Park(ing) Day (September 15)
Park(ing) Day is part of a global event to temporarily repurpose curbside parking into spaces for public use. To celebrate the event, CityLab practicum students spent the day at Downtown’s Pioneer Plaza with their CTE pathway teachers. Students not currently enrolled in a practicum course were also able to experience Park(ing) Day through grade level rotations. 
CityLab 5 Year Anniversary Celebration (September 19)
After spending the Summer at the Architecture and Design Exchange (ADEX), a comprehensive display of student projects was moved to the first floor of Dallas City Hall. Members of the CityLab Foundation, representatives from the City of Dallas, and CityLab staff joined a group of our students to celebrate our school’s first 5 years.
Envision Dallas Tour (September 21)
Ms. Hardaway’s Junior Architecture students participated in a site visit to Envision Dallas, the DFW’s largest employer and service provider for the blind and visually impaired. During the tour, students learned the ways that design can help improve independence and mobility for those with disabilities and will now incorporate their learning in an upcoming architecture project.
