We are excited to offer a variety of seminars this year. All students are welcome to attend, however there will always be some sort of “ticket” that needs to be completed first. The “ticket” might be a qualifying test or a project you develop.

I can’t wait until extreme math day is available to do. I don’t exactly like math at times, I am just really good at it. Sometimes I just don’t want to stop doing math, like when I learned long division!
Hi Cale-If you’d like to attend Extreme Math Day, make sure to do the weekly Math Minutes located under Learning Opportunities.
So excited for poetry! I have a good poem!
I can’t wait until the art apprentice will come out! I’m going to make so many pictures with a bunch of color.
How do I enter this seminar?
Thanks for posting Anthony. There will be information coming out about the Art Apprentice seminar sometime in early March.
Hello Mrs.Spady. When will we know which students will be attending the extreme Math Day?
Hi Saanvi! Thanks for your question. We will let students know at the end of April if they are invited to attend Extreme Math Day.
