FlexFriday: Virtual Cardboard Creations Fair Virtual Fair
For the past month, we’ve built time into student’s schedules after every FlexFriday event, from 2:30-3:00 p.m., to give students the opportunity to work on creative pursuits. We kicked off with the Cardboard Carpentry Workshop, and from there, students had the option to build a cardboard creation and enter it in our Cardboard Box Challenge to compete for prizes. Today students will have the opportunity to showcase their creations in an online exhibit. We can’t wait to see what our students have created! -
