MYP Minute
Krista Quint, MYP Coordinator & Dean of Academics
Today in some of their classes, the 6th graders participated in Global Play Day. They celebrated their right to play and modeling our value for unstructured play and screen-free time - where students build leadership skills, communication and collaboration skills, learn how to navigate the 'unknown,' and develop their own rules. Here are some pictures we captured in between all the fun!
