Over the last year, the school has gone through a major transformation; from traditional classroom to a 21st Century Skills Initiative environment that includes joint teaching environments and project based learning. Part of this initiative includes a 1 to 1 student to computer ratio, and this is where the money raised in December will make an impact. According to Principal Bates, there is still a need for equipment and software for the teachers and students to use as part of the new format at the school. The additional dollars will allow them to purchase additional equipment and software to continue to enhance the student's learning experience.


The school is still working out details for some of the fundraisers during this month, but everyone is looking forward to the challenge.
