PICTURES AND REPORTS BASKETBALL AND CHEERLEADING Congratulations to all of the Basketball and cheer teams for a fantastic year.  Mrs. Trainer wants to thank Cole & Ethan gift helping at the score table. These 8th graders cheered with the BFA Varsity Cheerleaders at a varsity boys basketball game Tuesday night (2/21) at BFA. Composting has started at City School! The Renaissance community has started composting snack scraps. There is a compost bin outside of the community that we will be starting with until the compost shed is complete. The composted fruit and vegetable scraps will eventually make nutrient rich compost for our gardens. Stay tuned for more updates! More Pictures from PE 2-21-2017 Arm wrestling Pictures from Imagination's Culminating Event Students showed off cars they built that were powered by balloon powered jet propulsion.  Other projects and school work were highlighted at the event.  Many family members came to learn what their children have been doing in recent months. Unified Arts Night Dance Performances  This video of the dance performances was posted on Monday the 20th and failed to work.  It has now been uploaded to Vimeo and should be viewable. If you missed the dances last week 2-16-2017, then you may want to watch portions of this 18 minute long video.  Karen Amirault choreographed the dances our students performed. LINK TO VIDEO
