🚀 Exploring Careers at SCK Launch! Our 8th graders recently attended the Bowling Green Area Chamber of Commerce’s SCK Launch for a hands-on experience exploring the many career opportunities available right here in our community! This experience is especially exciting for our IMPACT Center students as they prepare to select their career pathways and academies. From exploring new interests to discovering future possibilities, opportunities like these help students connect their learning to life beyond the classroom. #MakeAnIMPACT

8th Grade Science Takes Learning Around the World! Our 8th graders explored the importance of natural resources around the world through an engaging, hands-on learning experience! Students were assigned a country to research, created posters to share their findings, and participated in a gallery walk to learn from one another. They then took on the role of global leaders during a Natural Resources Summit, discussing important hot topics and challenges surrounding natural resources. To top it all off, students brought their learning to life by preparing and sharing foods inspired by their assigned countries! 🌮🍜🍛 From research and collaboration to critical thinking and global awareness, our students showed that learning goes far beyond the textbook! 🌎👏
