Our Intermediate School launched Rock Your School week today and the excitement was off the charts! Students were excited as we kicked off a week full of creativity, fun, and unforgettable learning moments! So, what is Rock Your School? It’s a global initiative by Get Your Teach On that inspires teachers to shake things up and create “out-of-the-box” learning experiences. The goal? To make education dynamic, hands-on, and truly unforgettable for students! We can’t wait to see what the rest of the week brings!
