Celebrating a Year of Hands On Learning
Celebrating a Year of Hands On Learning
We are so very proud of our hands-on learning students this year, their teamwork, creativity, and willingness to dive into every project have been truly inspiring. From painting the container to designing self-watering pots for the Chelsea Community Project, they have shown initiative and pride in their work. Students brought our outdoor spaces to life by gardening, setting up our veggie gardens, and even paving the floor of the shed. Their practical skills shone in the kitchen as well, where they enjoyed cooking and learning to prepare meals together.
These accomplishments, along with countless smaller projects throughout the year, highlight just how capable, collaborative, and resourceful our students have become. Thank you for a fantastic year, everyone! Your hard work, enthusiasm, and teamwork have made this year truly special. We are grateful for every effort, every project, and every moment you contributed.
Well done HoL team!
