Hope was nominated for her work as an Academic/Spell Bowl coach and everything she has built with students at Rosa Parks. Students and staff got to surprise her with the news before Fall Break. ❤️

Last week, fifth graders from Homecroft Elementary and Clinton Young Elementary traded their classrooms for the outdoors at Camp Rancho Framasa and Happy Hollow!

Students worked together, faced a few fears, learned survival skills, built fires, cooked food over the fires they started themselves and spent some much-needed time unplugged and grounded in nature.

There were plenty of challenges, a lot of teamwork and probably a few moments of “I don’t know if I can do this” followed by “WAIT… I DID IT.” 💪

These are the kinds of experiences that stick with students long after camp is over. 🌿🔥
