Friday September 8th was our first Enrichment Day of the year. With over 80 students participating at the elementary level and five different activities to participate in at the High School Level we are excited to see how this program grows. This enrichment day included learning experiences focused on Science and STEM; Physical Health and Wellness; the Arts; and Career Preparation.
