Junior Achievement Program
During session 3, Mr. Blocker taught the students about unit and mass production. The students had fun assembling ballpoint pens to better understand how to make a product as efficiently as possible. We look forward to his next visit on Thursday, November 15.
Subject Update:
- Spelling - No spelling lesson due to the short week!
