Our 5th graders presented their Civic Engagement projects tonight. What’s a civic engagement project? Students examined their school community and looked for things they wanted to improve or change. They researched, investigated, and came up with proposals for change. It was an inspiring night to hear our students speak passionately about their projects. Thank you to our 5th graders teachers for guiding our students to be future leaders.
