We had a retirement celebration and we stopped to say goodbye to SHS! I have loved being an Aviator!

(I thought I'd post this last pic before I delete this account).

[Mr. Cole @EHGCole]

Last day pic w the crew-its great working w friends. Will miss @SycamoreReardon as he moves to next chapter, but know he will be back to visit our "young scholars"

A special thanks to @AviatorCoPilot for joining--integral to starting the program and helping us continue to grow!

[Mr. Cole @EHGCole]

What a special first group of @Synnovationlab students. Creative, leaders, relationship based, a joy to work alongside. They have truly changed @shs_highschool

We will miss you as you go off to do great things!

First Alumni meeting at Friendsgiving!

Mrs. Brenda Fisher, counselor extraordinaire, gave our last Tuesday Talk. She discussed mindfulness and led us in a 5 minute breathing exercise that had the entire room relaxed and ready for exams! Her presentation (with links to resources) is here:

@HistoriCole @SycamoreFeist @Synnovationlab @SycamoreSchools @SycamoreHSEng @shsarnold @stephen_langdon @EeCon22 This was so nice! I've been very lucky to be at SHS and in the Synn Lab in particular. I'll bring in a bag of mints next August!

We had a great Tuesday Talk today about the FTC Robotics team. Arjun, Arushi, and Calista showed their award-winning (and very cool) robot and discussed all the benefits of being on the team. Nice work!

[Breen Reardon @SycamoreReardon]

What great writers we have in the @Synnovationlab! Nice work scholars!

[Mr. Cole @EHGCole]

Synnovation Poetry Madness Finals!

Congrats to all our writers, but especially to Maxwell, Kiahna, Ryan W, Will, and our anonymous winners!

Awards were voted by students and chosen by departments-great example of cross curricular and student empowerment!

Thank You Jonah for coming in to talk about your journey in founding @Scene75 and important lessons such as how it is important to pursue your passions and to never put a limit on yourself! @TheAshleyWarren @TheRealMrMader @SycamoreReardon @HistoriCole @shsarnold @TopAviator

[Mr. Cole @EHGCole]

Fellow Aviator Jonah Sandler talked to our students about founding @Scene75, finding passion and overcoming obstacles.

Absolutely awesome!!

"Virginia, the state that has executed more people than any other in the nation, is abolishing the death penalty today." It's the first formerly Confederate state to do so. https://t.co/eox3de0ZI3

Christopher did a wonderful Tuesday Talk on current and future agricultural methods. The @Synnovationlab students asked smart questions, and Christopher handled them all well! Nice work!

[Breen Reardon @SycamoreReardon]

A Future Friday cleaning and reorganizing of the @Synnovationlab library. I love to see our scholars taking care of our space and all its benefits. An added bonus, according to @SycamoreFeist is that students are having great discussions of genre!

[Breen Reardon @SycamoreReardon]

THANK YOU to our wonderful PTO! Their generosity has allowed the @Synnovationlab to purchase even more books for our library. The students are already enjoying them!

[Breen Reardon @SycamoreReardon]

Mrs. Brownlee, a student teacher in the English Department in the Synn Lab, discussed her career as a journalist and how she plans and executes her long form nonfiction stories. The students loved this tremendous Tuesday Talk!

[Breen Reardon @SycamoreReardon]

Some of you have read this fascinating book and may be interested in this podcast.
