When tech and counseling collide, our hawks SOAR! Students used teamwork and communication skills to get their leprechaun Rover to its pot of gold- the drivers of the rovers could not see the rover or the track and had to rely on their teammates to guide them to the gold.
Our Hawks all got a chance to try their hand with various percussion instruments at today's Drum Assembly. #SOARingHighatBRI
