🦁♻️Our 3rd Grade Conservation Crew put their creativity and STEM skills to work by transforming recycled materials into unique, wearable fashion! From designing to creating, our Lions had so much fun thinking outside the box and giving everyday materials a brand-new purpose. We are so proud of our young designers and their creativity, hard work, and commitment to reducing, reusing, and recycling! What an amazing day on the runway!

🦁♻️Our 3rd grade Nature's Helping Hands took a trip to the landfill! They experienced, first-hand, the importance of reducing, reusing, and recycling. They also gained a deeper understanding of why we should do our best to keep trash out of landfills and always take steps to keep our Earth clean. They are learning that even small choices can make a big difference! #BrookwoodSTEM

🦁🚧Our Lions have entered the construction zone in Career Lab! This week, all of our classes have been learning more about employability skills such as communication, problem solving, and teamwork. They have been given the option to work as an independent contractor or as a company to get their "jobs" completed. We have loved exposing our Lions to a variety of career paths and providing them opportunities to experience "a day on the job."
