Mrs. Liberatore's class worked on collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and creativity skills in a project based learning activity to design a toy. With a partner, the students designed a toy from the ground up and decided what solids, liquids, and gasses they were going to use to make the toy. They also had to think critically about their design and reflect afterward on how their toy would work and how they could make their design better.

Culinary Arts involves more than just cooking! This career pathway requires hospitality, and that is exactly what Olivia Mejia offered her ninth grade guests. Mejia, a junior who has proven herself in many kitchens, provided High School Transitions students a tour of the CCA industrial grade kitchen, shared her experiences in the Culinary Arts Program, and encouraged fellow students to consider this pathway. Currently, Mejia works at both North Springs and The Griffin House where she assists in meal preparation. Mejia looks forward to pursuing a career as a professional chef. #TheDen #changinglives
