We’ve been busy making a few upgrades around campus lately… but this one might just steal the show! 😍✨

The next time you pull into the secondary parking lot, don’t just park and walk in β€” take a second, look up above the SPED room, and prepare to be wowed! We’ve added something brand new that we think you’re going to love just as much as we do.

Here it is β€” the before and after! We absolutely love how it turned out, and we think you will too. It’s bright, bold, and guaranteed to make you smile the second you see it.

🌿 Outdoor Learning Grant: $40,000

πŸ”§ High Demand Grant: $12,000

β™Ώ Adaptive & Inclusive Technology Grant: $19,892
