Teachers at Harvard for 3-Day Education Workshop
Four of FASRI's teachers and our Education Coordinator have gone to Cambridge for a workshop at Harvard's Graduate School of Education. The subject: "Systemic Change for Student Success." We are excited to hear what they've learned when they return on Monday.
Pest Extermination at FASRI
Recently, the school had its regular pest extermination treatment. An unpleasant side effect is that the treated beetles tend to come out from their hiding places as they die. Please do not be alarmed if you see a few dead beetles around school; they will be gone in the next couple of days. Thank you for your understanding.
