Calistoga ACE students are problem-solving with creativity! 🤔

CJSHS students were determined to make slime without traditional activator. We tried using a baking soda and the results were mixed, just like the ingredients. We had fun as always!

🏕️🌲 Adventure awaits at Snow Elementary! ⛺️✨

Our 4th and 5th graders wrapped up September’s Camping & Survival theme by putting their survival skills to the test! 💪

Using cardboard, popsicle sticks, and lots of creativity, our students worked together to build their very own shelters with one big challenge: keep the inside dry! 🌧️🏕️

From brainstorming to building, our young campers practiced teamwork, problem-solving, and thinking outside the box! 🛠️🧠

Movement with purpose! Students at Phillips NapaEXL experienced PE centers that encouraged teamwork, coordination, and choice. These active challenges help students build confidence while having fun with their peers.

Every site has PE Centers built into their weekly schedules. Ask your student which PE center they enjoy during the week?
