We had an amazing turnout tonight at the incoming 6th grade meeting! Remember to post your pictures and add the #proudtobeagrizzly so we can share our newest grizzlies!
Over the past two weeks, our students have had the incredible opportunity to learn straight from the pros!!
We were honored to welcome professionals from Taylorsville Lake State Park and the Spencer County Fire Department into our school. From protecting our natural spaces to saving lives in emergencies, these community heroes shared real-world experiences that brought the career exploration lab to life. Because letโs be honestโwho better to learn from than the people who live it every day?
Weโre so grateful to these professionals for pouring into our students and helping them explore future careers and the importance of service, safety, and conservation.
