OHS sculpture class did a fantastic job collaborating with our elementary artists to recreate their monster drawing designs in 3D!

GES and OES (k-2) designed their fun monsters, and OHS artists got to pick from a sea of monster drawings in the studio.

The big artists got to deliver them in person to the little artists, and visit a bit.

Excitement is in the air at GES as our students witness chicks hatching right before their eyes! 🐣 This hands-on experience brings learning to life, allowing students to explore science in a meaningful, real-world way. Through project-based learning, they are not only observing the life cycle but also asking questions, making predictions, and building a deeper understanding of responsibility and care. Moments like these show how powerful authentic learning experiences can be in sparking curiosity and creating lasting connections to the world around us.
