We did a thing today! For day two of Operation Accelerate, we braved the heat and went to Sylvan Heights Bird Park!!! The kids LOVED it, and it’s safe to say the staff did too! Tonight, the kids will learn how to set up a tent, cook supper over a fire and camp out!

Today was a PERFECT day to start our 2nd annual Operation Accelerate! Our students were able to sleep in a bit and started a fun filled day! They made pizza, participated in PE activities, played minute to win it games, and enjoyed some cerebral relaxation time. Tonight, they are enjoying pizza and a movie in the dorms! We are definitely looking forward to how much FUN we will have these next 2 weeks!

Today high school science teacher, Mikaela Brown, led high school students in following the scientific method and lab safety measures to find out their blood type. The students did a great job on a fun, end of year experiment!
