New Learning Space at LaBrae Intermediate DISTRICT HIGHLIGHTS

In late winter, LaBrae Intermediate was able to convert the building's atrium into a learning space for students with the arrival of new student furniture.

Mrs. Suzelis and a team of LIS teachers met to evaluate how to best use the atrium for student learning. It was important for the team to create a space that didn't resemble the traditional classroom.

Thus, they designed a space and selected furniture that best facilitated independent and small group learning.

The space was put to great use during the remainder of the school year, and is positioned to be a productive student-centered learning space for years to come.

Commemorating Flag Day

Flag Retirement Box at LaBrae

Sam Watkins, a sophomore at LaBrae, and a member of the Boy Scouts of America, was motivated to honor the American Flag with his Eagle Scout project. Watkins designed and built a flag retirement box so local residents could properly dispose of their old flags. Fittingly, he presented LaBrae with its box on Flag Day, June 14th. The retirement box is located at the Middle School doors near the flag pole of the LaBrae Event Entrance.
