EXPLORE'S K-5 WEEKLY FOCUS

Climb Every Mountain: Our October Theme in Action

This week, we took some time to reflect and share different experiences students have encountered with climbing their own mountains. We shared both in a large group and in our smaller color family groups. We have such amazing students who continue to "wow" us with their hard work and dedication in reaching their goals.
