ÀÇÓÑÉçÇø

The ÀÇÓÑÉçÇø to ÀÇÓÑÉçÇø Collaboration has been hard at work this spring organizing several unique learning experiences.

ÀÇÓÑÉçÇø Elementary second graders had one very busy day working with ÀÇÓÑÉçÇø’s Business and Society class to create kindness cards for neighbors in the morning and playing a game of soccer with the women’s soccer team in the afternoon.

The ÀÇÓÑÉçÇø theater department treated first graders to a behind-the-scenes experience at the Anne Simley Theater on campus and yoga-practicing university students led first graders through yoga poses, breathing, and balance exercises in the ÀÇÓÑÉçÇø Elementary gym.

Last week first graders participated in a fun-filled book reading and Q&A with ÀÇÓÑÉçÇø alum, entrepreneur, and author, C.L. Stein, and every ÀÇÓÑÉçÇø Elementary student visited Klas Field for an incredible Field Day experience organized by ÀÇÓÑÉçÇø Athletics and supported by dozens of student athletes. 

This week we’re looking forward to kindergarten tours of ÀÇÓÑÉçÇø’s Bush Library and excited for our communications program, Snelling Connection - led by ÀÇÓÑÉçÇø students - to publish their newspaper featuring writing, illustrations, and insights from ÀÇÓÑÉçÇø Elementary students. We are so thankful to all the students, staff, and faculty who make these experiences possible!

And as ÀÇÓÑÉçÇø's spring term comes to a close and college students move on to their summer plans, our Collaboration programs will begin to wind down. We want to acknowledge the excellent work of ÀÇÓÑÉçÇø students who volunteer as mentors, work as tutors and the student workers (Ally, Darby, Isaac, and Ma) who do so much to support the Collaboration. 

It’s also nearly time for ÀÇÓÑÉçÇø’s Commencement and the ÀÇÓÑÉçÇø to ÀÇÓÑÉçÇø Collaboration would like to congratulate all of this year's graduates, especially those who have been part of our programming and community during their time at ÀÇÓÑÉçÇø. These amazing college students add so much to our community and we wish them all the best!
