My Students

Due to COVID-19, many students spent their last year "in" school behind a computer screen. However, we worked together, we supported one another to close out the school year on a positive note. Students will continue to create their own learning experiences while collaborating with others.

We are constantly looking for new opportunities for students to grow their minds through creative, imaginative, and meaningful ways.

My Project

Winning and hard work is an important concept that all students should be aware of, and Ping Pong is one way students can learn this! Ping Pong requires maximum concentration on the ball and constant movement around the table. Ping Pong requires immediate reactions to the opponent’s moves which helps players develop a sense of fast thinking. Making tactical decisions in less than a second, and under pressure can improve cognitive abilities of the students. Through practice, ping pong can help improve a s student's mental alertness and concentration abilities.
