Leadership Day

Sam Demma returned to CESA 11 for a day filled with sessions to build students' individual and team leadership skills, as well as presentation skills. Sixty-eight middle and high school students left with an action plan for a project to implement when they returned to their schools. In April student teams presented their projects at a Virtual Leadership Showcase.

Sweet 2B Me

Twenty-eight students in grades 5-8 came to CESA 11 for the Sweet 2B Me event where students learned about process vs product, perfectionism, mindfulness, and learning from their mistakes from guest presenters.

Writing Scripts to Screen

Eighteen students in grades 5-8 participated in this film creating event. Student teams started by writing a story which then was broken down into a storyboard to create a film using only music and video to capture and tell their story (no words) as their final product. Students showed a lot of growth during this 3-day opportunity.

The Creative Lens: Exploring the Art of Photography

Twenty-four students in grades 3-6 participated in this 2-day experience. Students learned about the history of photography, took pictures with a variety of cameras, what to consider when taking a photo, as well as how to edit once the photo is taken. Students were able to bring home one of their "masterpiece" photos.
