Here is information about the amazing program:
The Magic School Bus!
Hippo Nation's Special Education program has an amazing program called the Magic School Bus. We are serving students who are struggling in the online environment by providing 1 to 1 tutoring outside their house on a school bus. We have decorated the bus and set up a card table in the back of the bus to serve as a desk for both teacher and student. We have been to students' homes & it is working well! Most of the students we are serving are Functional Academics Special Education students and Resource & Inclusion Special Education students who have struggled with online learning during this virtual experience. We are meeting them where they are at and it's definitely something worth bragging about.

What is "Human Capital?"
What is a "Courant?"
Courant also means running according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary. Hippos run. We run to ensure that our students are getting the very best that they deserve and need. We run to ensure that the spirit of the River Horse never dies. If you didn't know, River Horse means Hippo; It is the literal English translation of the Greek word Hippopotamus!
Our Courant will be composed of topics that relate to career pathways, growing us as individuals, and other topics that relate to the human capital component of our work.
