Passion Projects - Middle School

Students are busy working on their passion projects. Once a week they are exploring what THEY want to learn and by the end of the semester will have proof of learning in the form of some type of project. Some students are working on organizing their learning in blogs, websites, and power points, while others are building, or learning computer coding, or how to play a new instrument.

Here are just a few of the topics that students are exploring:

Fashion design
Chemical engineering
Art - Drawing - Art History
The culture of Holland
Veterinary Medicine
Marine Biology
Comedy
Physical Fitness
MLB statistics - comparing players from long ago to today's
Meteorology
Lego Design
The FBI
Gymnastics
Photography
Culinary Arts
Animals - Pet Care
Music - history - genres - groups
...and more!

As you can see, students WANT to learn and given the CHOICE of WHAT to learn, they WILL!

Our Passion Project Unveiled Day will be Friday, December 13th, at the Administration Center on Mulberry Avenue. We hope you can join us!
