Colter is hard at work on a large puzzle during his Exploratory class! We love seeing students challenge themselves and stay engaged with hands-on activities.🧩

🎢 Our STEM students are having a blast designing and building their own roller coasters! They’re putting their creativity, problem-solving, and engineering skills to the test as they experiment with loops, drops, and turns. Love seeing their ideas come to life!

🧵 Our Exploratory students are doing great work in Sewing! Today they practiced threading needles and getting ready for hand stitching. Love seeing their focus and patience as they learn new skills!
