Mrs Mein’s Culinary did a little Farm to Table Demo. We used fresh tomatoes from the Hydroponic plants from ag classes that were planted this summer and harvested today. We also used garden grown zucchini and squash. To make a veggie stir fry. They even had a remote learner watching in from the computer as Mrs. Mein demonstrated how to cook. Some kids like it some did not...

After a year of planning, HMS & HHS were able to implement their redesign prototype. Students have been attending Advisory/Homeroom daily since last week, but today they spent the afternoon learning about Project Based Learning and Flex time. PBL is a student-driven project that will require students to think about Real-World topics. They will plan, research, and implement these projects on a timeline they create. When they finish, part of this process is to make their project available for community viewing. The schools also have included what we call FLEX time -- this is a time for students to continue PBL, receive help from teachers, attend club meetings, or take part in presentations. We are excited to see what happens as the year progresses. It's a great day to be a Railer!
