Two Rivers Middle School hosted about 70 guests in their school to showcase their greatness. Here they greeted guests with their band and informed guests about their student jobs, Lighthouse Team, and more! They shared information on their data and then gave student-led tours; they even prepared a “7 Habits Step” from their step team. Some of the experience is documented on their twitter page @2RiversMiddle if you would like to check out some awesome footage of the event.  

At Prospect Elementary a fourth-grade student, named Mason, has been teaching a technology class to other students. The class started out as a suggestion from Principal Dr. Kim Chinnis after she noticed his skills and interest. This class took off when he got one of his friends involved and they now teach the entire 2nd grade. They are currently planning to teach the course to 3rd graders in the future.

A few students from Sawgrass Bay Elementary attending the VEX robotics competition in Tampa, Florida.  Mason and Malachi really brought their talents to this project-based learning competition and placed 3rd in the entire state.  This was the school’s first time competing in this competition and we wanted to congratulate them on this awesome achievement!
