Last night’s @CF_CAPS Innovation Celebration highlighted authentic learning in action—students showing real-world, durable skills. Especially powerful to see elementary students showcasing their learning alongside @CF_HighSchool students! #tigerpride

Every 6th grader in @CF_schools had the opportunity to visit @northerniowa as part of a career discovery unit, exploring fields they’re interested in. This helps students picture themselves in college and connect learning to future careers. #futureready #UNI

6 bands, 6 Directors, one America the Beautiful. Not easy to pull off especially in a gym.

Always a fun night to see and hear the progression of the bands from 5th grade through high school at the All City Band Concert.

Well done @CF_schools band program! One band, one sound

PK durable skills in action! Students studied birds and built a preschool-size nest using what they learned. Who wouldn’t want to read in this nest?! #PK #DurableSkills #TigerPride

6th graders brought financial literacy to life by creating their own Game of Life and facilitating gameplay with 5th graders—authentic learning in action while building durable skills. #AuthenticLearning #DurableSkills #TigerPride @tmruane

1st graders built the moon today to celebrate the Artemis II splashdown! 🌕 They connected this event to durable skills, deciding which “Tiger 10” skills astronauts would need most on a real mission. 🚀 #DurableSkills #FutureReady #STEM #ArtemisII @tmruane
