End of the Year May 2016
Reflecting on the Journey...
Dear Parents and Learners,
What an exciting year for all of us as here in C3! There have been many high points and many learning points along our road, but the journey that we have traveled to get to this place has been unforgettable. From the habitat project to our most recent force and motion project, we have watched our learners become thinkers, innovators, and creators.
As the year comes to a close, we must recognize those that made this year so memorable. Thank you to all of our parents for entrusting your little ones to us. Their successes have been wonderful to watch. They have inspired us to push the limits on learning and challenged us to pursue The Pike Road Way.
Thank you to our AMAZING learners! You have made this year remarkable! We are so proud of you and the effort that you have put into your learning. You have truly owned your learning, and we have witnessed tremendous growth as a result of your hard work. Continue to pursue your passions!
Again, thanks for a remarkable year!

My favorite project was...
