This past Bullitt Day our teachers continued diving into learning about integrating authentic learning experiences for our students!
Why is this important to us? Having opportunities for our students to have real world connections not only creates their learning to me more meaningful, but when they are more engaged, they enjoy learning! We want our students to look forward to collaborate and being at school everyday!

Keep up the awesome work, kiddos. I am so proud of you all!" -Mrs. Boston
