Here is the schedule of events for the Bennington Meet on Friday April 1.
Sophomore advisory students (Clark's Harks) completed an activity that challenged them to start a drawing, then pass that drawing to a partner. That partner continued the drawing without any direction, passing it back to the owner after some time. Students discussed the importance of communication on projects, how expectations can and will change, and how different perspectives can affect the outcome of something.
HES third grade students did some “plant hunting” to compare characteristics of plants in different locations! #backontrack
