A Look Back: Clinics and Workshops from Sunday, March 17, 2024
We had an amazing time at our March 17 Clinics & Workshops! During our Sports Clinic, students had an awesome time playing Radball, building up their skills for games like baseball and softball. Other games included Team Handball, Volleyball, & Ultimate Frisbee.
Our Pop Art Stars really did make a splash during our Pop Art Workshop! They made some beautiful creations, while our STEM students made waterslides and tested them accordingly. Cheers to a great day of learning!
