The last week of Summer Academy was a busy one! Students finished up projects and assessments while participating in some fun activities. Manning Plater, Olympic trial and NCAA athlete shared his experiences. Students took a virtual field trip to a Florida beach to learn ocean conservation. On the last day we had a wiener roast complete with hotdogs and S’mores. Thanks to parents, students, and staff for a wonderful Summer Academy!
