🌊🌱 Learning in Action with Hanford Mills! 🌱🌊

Yesterday, Hanford Mills rolled into Roxbury for an awesome, hands-on visit with our 1st grade students and 4th grade students!

Our learners explored:
💧 Watersheds and how water travels
🏭 Sources and impacts of pollution
💡 Smart, kid-powered solutions to help protect our environment

Big ideas, curious questions, and thoughtful conversations filled the day. We love seeing our students think like scientists and problem-solvers while caring for the world around them.

A huge thank you to Hanford Mills for an engaging and meaningful visit! 🌎✨

🧶🎨 FROM IMAGINATION TO HEADWEAR! 🎨🧶 Our 1st graders put their creativity to work by designing their very own hats, and local crocheter Terry Lehn brought those designs to life stitch by stitch! The best part? Watching students light up as they saw their colorful ideas turn into real, wearable hats they could actually put on their heads. Proof that big creativity can come from small hands and a lot of imagination! A huge thank you to Terry Lehn for sharing her talent and helping make this experience so special for our students. 🧡🖤
