Last week, our JAG classes welcomed Christine Hutchinson, PT, DPT from Franciscan Healthcare Rehabilitation and Wellness! She talked about what a typical day looks like as a Physical Therapist and what her path looked like to get to where she is today. She also shared how being a PT is a rewarding career with potential for growth, job satisfaction, and making a positive impact on people's lives. Thank you for taking the time to visit with our students! #cadetpride⚔️

Our 3rd Grade students played Jenga to review for their MAP math test! 🟥🟦🟨 Students had to pick a colored card and answer the question correctly. If correct, they were able to move a block with that same color! Each color of card was programmed with a different math skill such as fractions, multiplication, time, etc. Their hard work will definitely pay off! #cadetpride⚔️
