From the Classrooms:

Bobcat Beginner Preschool

The Beginner Bobcat Preschool is now in full swing! We are approaching week 3 after 2 previous, very successful weeks. This program allows students interested in teaching and childcare to have the opportunity to teach children, learn how to manage behaviors, create lesson plans, observe preschoolers in the classroom setting, and much more. We have been having a great time getting to know our twelve preschoolers and cannot wait for a great year!


American Museum of Natural History

The science department facilitated a fantastic trip to NYC on Monday, December 8th to the American Museum of Natural History. Students enjoyed a wide variety of fascinating exhibits including a show about the Milky Way at the Planetarium.
