special projects Special Projects are an important part of the school program, and enhance the curriculum by providing small group hands-on activities. Ideas for a project spring from a variety of resources. The teacher and the special projects chairperson (there is one for each classroom) provide suggestions at the monthly planning meetings to tie in with the curriculum and can provide guidance where needed. The individual expertise and talents of the parents are also most welcome. Special projects may take place during the school day or may take place after school and on weekends at off-site locations. Some examples of off-site projects include a bread-baking afternoon for second graders and a visit to the opera for 8th graders. Detailed guidelines are provided in the parent handbook.
