Ok, so we admit that online summer teaching doesn't offer many photogenic moments...but this is what our students are up to this summer!
And even though you can't see it in this picture, students are diving into new texts, sharing ideas, and building learning communities all summer long.
The regular academic year may be over, but learning never stops!

Happy Spring Break! From wearing shorts, to tornado warnings, and finally to snow flurries, it's sounds like the start of springtime around here. Have a restful break!
