To adequately prepare to read Romeo and Juliet, IA English I Students at Santa Fe immersed themselves in the Elizabethan Era. 🐦‍⬛👑

In this creative project, students chose a topic, researched it, made a poster that includes five subtopics, created artwork and a handmade creative component! Then, they took turns presenting their topic to their peers. 👏 #ShineYourLight

What do polar bears, cacti and sharks have in common? They all could’ve survived at West Field today! 🐻‍❄️🌵🦈

1st graders stepped into five completely transformed classrooms (the arctic, the woodlands, the ocean, the rainforest and the desert) to explore how structure and function help living things survive, and how biomimicry lets us learn from those adaptations to solve problems. 🌎

This lesson was also a testament to the dedication our educators have to their students! This teacher team totally transformed their classrooms AND dressed the part! 👏

Our high school seniors are putting real-world skills to the test 💼

After working through all 14 Personal Financial Literacy competencies in their government course, students are stepping into Junior Achievement’s Finance Park, which is a hands-on simulation where they’re given a “life persona” and challenged to budget, spend and plan for their future.

From housing and transportation to credit and savings, every decision counts!

All of our high schools brought groups of students who had completed all 14 Personal Financial Literacy competencies and opted in. It is initiatives like these that are preparing our students for life after high school. 🙌💵 #ShineYourLight
