Students Showcase Learning and Creativity Through Annual Passion Project Initiative

The Passion Project is a student-led initiative where students research a topic of their interest, gather resources, and present their findings in a model and presentation. This project aims to increase student engagement, foster voice and choice in learning, and develop presentation literacy. The project is conducted twice a year, with students presenting to peers in the fall and to parents in the spring. It has been observed to decrease attendance issues and nurse visits due to high student engagement.
