THIS WEEK
MRE was the perfect example of the ‘work hard play hard’ philosophy this week as students busily completed projects, presentations, reading evaluations and assessments ahead of the upcoming student led conferences and report cards. To balance this, students enjoyed the sunshine outside playing baseball, football, frisbee and an assortment of other games.
