Check out February's Scholar Teacher Spotlight, Nolana Marr! Nolana is placed at East Middle School in Mrs. Young's 8th grade math classroom. "Ms. Marr is focused on making connections and building relationships with students. The eighth graders light up when they see her at school and greet her excitedly. She makes herself approachable, to which the students have really responded well." -Mrs. Young https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlZ1hFSkU2c

Students at Enterprise and Design presented their GBI projects this week to a panel of evaluators. Students looked into everyday processes throughout the District to make recommendations on becoming more efficient.

Enterprise and Design students had the opportunity to discuss Empathy as step 1 in the Design Thinking Process with a subject matter expert. The guest speaker was Veronica Alvidrez from Startland, an organization focused on building entrepreneurial skills in the KC community.
