We are so proud of our 7th-grade students for their incredible work in the Ice House Program! 👏
💡Students from East Middle, Eagle's Nest School of Academic Distinction, Strong Vincent Middle School, and Woodrow Wilson Middle School came together to think like entrepreneurs, identifying real-world problems and developing creative, thoughtful solutions. A handful of students confidently presented their ideas to the full audience, and later, everyone had the opportunity to walk around and explore the many innovative projects on display.
Their creativity, teamwork, and determination were inspiring. Even more impressive were student reflections on gaining confidence and learning perseverance through the experience.
We couldn’t be prouder of everything they’ve accomplished. The future is bright! 🌟
Also, thank you to all the staff, community, and families who made this event a huge success for our students.
