My Students
Our school provides many opportunities to grow and gain experiences that may not be provided elsewhere for our students. The teachers and administration strive to bring relevant learning through strong instruction and unique activities such as this one. Our students understand the importance of their education and work hard to reach their teachers expectations in the classroom.
Our students want to learn and experience new things that will help them grow into future leaders.
As educators we try to include as many opportunities and resources as possible to help them become stronger students and more active participants in their community. Please invest in our shared future to make these young people thinkers and leaders in the school and community.
My Project
Breakout boxes will allow us to escape the regular day in the classroom by having students work in teams to learn new material or reinforce previous learning. They will tackle puzzles and logic problems to unlock the correct answer and advance to the next level. These boxes have so many different locks and challenges that will stump and push our students to breakthrough their assumptions and thinking. This kind of collaborative problem solving alongside the curriculum will bring excitement and strong teamwork skills to our students. There are already many curriculum based lesson through Breakout EDU but our teachers will also be able to create their own reviews, challenges and competitions. These materials will truly help them escape the ordinary!
More than half of students from low‑income households
