Kindergarten students at Elon Elementary recently celebrated a very happy Australia Day! 🇦🇺 Each grade level in our global schools focuses on a region in the world, with Oceania being Kindergarten's region of study. Students enjoyed participating in a range of fun, hands-on learning activities about the animals, landmarks and culture of Australia. 🐨🦘️The day featured an Aussie snack challenge where students prepared, tasted and then rated some popular snacks unique to Australia. There were many big thumbs up reviews for the lamington bites (sponge cake dipped in chocolate sauce and coconut flakes) and fairy bread (sprinkles glued onto bread with butter). The crackers dipped in vegemite received mixed reviews. 🤔 #StudentCenteredFutureFocused

Did you know your child can take college classes for credit and it is tuition free
while in high school? Did you know your child can earn credentials and certifications that allow them to leave high school employable at a livable wage or that gives them an edge when applying for college? Come out to your school's High School Registration Fair to ensure you know about all the opportunities in ABSS and that your child is planning for success after graduation. Counselors, administrators, and teachers will be available to share courses that are offered at each school. We will also have representatives from ACC, CTEC, Fire/EMT, and other specialized programs to help you plan your child's upcoming schedule. Make sure your child is prepared for the Registration Season! #StudentCenteredFutureFocused
