π±πΏ Growing More Than Plants! πΏπ±
Our ENL Afterschool students recently completed their βMy Learning and Growing Adventureβ Seeds Project! Through hands-on learning, scholars planted seeds, tracked growth, recorded observations, expanded their academic vocabulary, and expressed their learning through beautiful artwork. π¨πͺ΄
We are so proud of their hard work, creativity, and language growth throughout this project. Watching our students build confidence as writers, speakers, and scientists has been truly inspiring! π

ππΊπ³ Today, Shell Bank Infinityβs Junior Model United Nations program had the honor of welcoming representatives from the Mayorβs Office and special guest Miguel Gonzalez, a diplomat from Colombia serving with the United Nations.
Students had the unique opportunity to learn about Colombia, the role of diplomacy in addressing global challenges, and the diplomatic process that helps nations work together through dialogue, negotiation, and cooperation.
π¬ Our scholars were fully engaged, asking thoughtful, informed, and insightful questions about careers in international relations, public service, and the work of the United Nations.
π We are grateful to Mr. Gonzalez and our partners from the Mayorβs Office for sharing their knowledge and inspiring our future leaders and global citizens.
