junior high school. This evening of purpose is known as the Learning Fair, and it offers two hours of time during which each student's daily schedule is condensed into each class period lasting approximately 10 minutes. Parents and their students report to homeroom for an introduction from teachers, plus the distribution of itineraries, folders containing samples of schoolwork from the first grading period, report cards, and other materials. From there, groups rotate around and between the two floors, with sixth grade classes primarily gathering in the lower levels and the seventh and eighth graders mostly convening on the upper floors. From science to social studies, math to music, and everything else in between, families had an opportunity to hear from their teen's eiducators, who used their time to share their goals, expectations, and missions for their scholastic year. In some cases, teachers showcased different tools specialized for their subjects of study, such as the use of white boards, musical instruments, and physical education equipment.
