Workshops:In our Workshops program, we served 438 students during the 2024-2025 school year. This year, we adapted to our students needs and energy, and decided to do more writing projects that incorporated illustrations and creativity. A highlight was the October haunted house project, where students developed a sales pitch for their haunted house and then built a diorama. At the end of the project, students presented their sales pitch, showcasing all their haunted amenities.
