Creativity Feature
We want to see what creative work your students are doing while learning remotely!
Send in a picture and brief description to the email below and your student can be featured on our morning announcements. We are so excited with the number of submissions we have received! Please know that we will display all of the creative work, but it may take a couple of weeks. We plan to continue the koala creativity feature when we transition to Hybrid Learning.
