No matter how educated, talented or rich you become... no matter the position you hold or the power you achieve... how you treat people tells all.

Happy summer, new 7th grade Stretchers!! Where has the time gone? In some ways it's hard to believe you're now 7th graders, and yet you're so ready! Congratulations on a terrific year of progress. You're independent, compassionate, and inspiring thinkers, carry on! I'll miss you!

[Linda Griswold @StretchGriswold]

A created a prototype of a 3D printer tool that would eliminate those dangling threads that can gum up a model. His presentation included a demo. Way to go!

Surprised winners of a computer game contest created for a PBL project, congratulations!

Students realize PBL and Design Thinking go hand-in-hand: a group repurposed an old boombox and dvd player to create a fan, and another repaired a remote-controlled car and robot. Crestview = creative problem-solving!
