Switcheroo Coming Up!

Switcheroos give students a chance to connect with different adults in the school and experience learning in new ways, while teachers benefit from uninterrupted, high-quality professional development. Coming up January 28 — students will head to the gym with Ms. Bouchard and our AMAZING support staff for some learning, team-building, and a steel drum performance to kick off Black History Month. Take a look at some of the photos from previous Switcheroos on Facebook, and we’ll make sure to start posting photos here as well going forward.
