JAG students wrapped up the semester with a fun and interactive challenge. High school students were challenged to build a winter house, while middle school students created a tree using cardboard and various materials. As part of the project, students also developed marketing materials, researched a career connected to the project, and reflected on the skills they used along the way. To conclude the project, the school voted for their favorite creations. Congratulations to Torri, Charlie, Isaiah, and Maleah!
