I am thankful to have been able to attend this event and learn of the innovation taking place in our region. During this, I had the opportunity to present on a panel of how I implemented a grant I received from ASU's Public School Partnership Program.

During field day, students added their handprints to a collaborative canvas. Since then, I added our bobcat mascot to the middle. The students will be so excited to see the finished product when they return to school! BCPS @MVESbobcats #ignitelearningbcps #allinBCPS
