| WHAT DOES THE ENRICHMENT COMMITTEE DO? |
| |
We help organize or connect our students to any kind of activity that enriches their learning experience. |
| |
Given our limited budget, we have been incredibly successful in bringing lots of fun events to Kaler and getting the students out in the world to experience first hand art, history, life and science. |
| |
Sometimes it takes ingenuity and creativity…. And that’s where YOU come in! |
| |
Keep your EARS open for ideas. Do you know someone with a SPECIAL TALENT to share? A special KNOWLEDGE to teach? |
| |
|
THE STAFF THEME THIS YEAR IS “KALER WATER WORKS.” |
| |
Our activities for the year can be related to that theme (but we don’t have to limit ourselves). |
| |
Do you have a water-related occupation or interest? The possibilities are endless… |
