This time students can participate in Makerspace, GES Newspaper, Community Service, Wildlife and Habitat Research, Holiday Arts and Crafts, Canva, Sign Language, Photography, or Diamond Painting.
This engaging, innovative time of the day allows students to try new interests or skills, be creative, connect with new students and teachers and encourage attendance. We love that our Jr. Bengals want to show up at school each day!
