The Â鶹ÊÓƵAPK to Â鶹ÊÓƵAPK Collaboration finished the year strong with several energizing activities. We kicked off the month of May with a K-5 Field Day event organized by the Â鶹ÊÓƵAPK Athletics department. Â鶹ÊÓƵAPK Elementary students walked over to Klas Field to enjoy a variety of activities facilitated by Â鶹ÊÓƵAPK scholar athletes. Students had a chance to learn lacrosse, jump over (very low) hurdles, learn to run a relay race, and so much more. A very special thanks to Ryan Wockenfus and the over 40 scholar athletes who made this event possible! Kindergarten classes visited Bush Library for a short tour and special story time with university librarians.
Students impressed the librarians with their knowledge of word sounds and excellent questions! We piloted a Forensic Science academic pairing with our third grade classes where they learned all about fingerprints. On Monday, June 3, Â鶹ÊÓƵAPK Elementary 5th graders visited Â鶹ÊÓƵAPK for our second annual Onward and Beyond program - a chance for students to reflect on their Â鶹ÊÓƵAPK Elementary experience and learn more about the college experience with a campus tour provided by the Â鶹ÊÓƵAPK Admissions Office.
And finally, after a year of learning and writing together, our Snelling Connection program sent its 2023-2024 newsletter to print. We’ve had a lot of fun together and there is much to look forward to next year. Our team is so grateful for a year of increased partnership and learning across our two campuses and the people who make it possible. We wish everyone a wonderful summer and look forward to working together again!
