Announcements (Important – please read):
1. EE small group trips to Family Harvest Farm: Our next trip to the farm is this Thursday, March 27. If your student is going that day, please consider driving. The trip runs from 9:40~12pm (We currently have no drivers). Drivers need to have a copy of their 100,000/300,000 liability car insurance on file in the office to drive. Students not attending the farm will do EE assignments at school. A BIG thank you to all the parents/grandparents who have helped with transportation!
2. SPA (Social Political Action) Impact Groups
- Mental Health Focus: students in this group are collecting new & gently used backpacks & toiletries for the teen mental health patients. Students are also running a “Coin War” to raise funds. Please turn all donations in at the office. The Coin Wars ends on March 31st.
Week 5 – Entrepreneur & Shark Tank
This unit is a continuation of Human Centered Design (HCD). Students will now take their design from the HCD unit, continue to refine it – or create a new design – and then go through the process of creating a business. At the end of the unit, students will present their business to the class, and then to a Shark Tank (community members).
