CLX Digital Lead Teacher Newsletter
April 2018
Thank you for coming to EdcampAVL!
The EdcampAVL team appreciates those that came to learn and grow on a Saturday (say what?!) with other educators. We had about 60 folks from all over, including South Carolina and Kentucky! Several folks kept taking pictures of our building and media center spaces and exclaiming how beautiful our school is. Even though we walk these halls everyday, it's nice to have other folks note our building and learning environments!
