We have finished our first round of PBL projects, ending the first quarter. We are quite satisfied with the results and would like to share them with our school family and friends on Tuesday Nov. 20 at 6:45. Students will be present to explain their projects. We will culminate our evening with two exemplary project presentations. They are about 1o minutes in length. Light refreshments will be served. This evening will give parents a closer look into the skills that make PBL such a good tool for preparing our youth to serve the Lord in an emerging global economy that is changing rapidly and demanding a new skill and mind set.
