What a FINAL Friday at Patrick Henry! 🎉 Last Friday was packed with learning and celebrations across our school:
🦈 Team 7-2 wowed us with their Shark Tank presentations
🧪 Team 6-3 shared their Hero in Science presentations
📚 Our 7th graders celebrated Outsiders Day
🚀 The NASA TechRise Team showcased their final presentation and hard work
💙 We also celebrated our incredible mentors at our Mentor Party and thanked them for the time, support, and encouragement they shared with students this year!
🐥And the excitement continued as Team 6-3 shared the chicks that hatched earlier in the week with other classrooms around Patrick Henry! Classrooms had the chance to “chick-sit” while the chicks spent the day spreading excitement throughout the building.
