On Friday March 15th, School Lane Charter School hosted our annual College and Career Fair at the IB Campus. Students had an opportunity to meet with representatives from many colleges and universities as well as professionals from many walks of life talking about career options. It was nice to see so many SLCS alums back on campus to share about their career paths with our current students! Thank you to all who made the day such a success.

The 5th grade visited the Camden Aquarium yesterday. They were able to see all of the aquatic animal exhibits, walk the shark bridge, feel stingrays and starfish, and a lot more! The students also participated in an interactive activity where they learned how long certain items take to decompose and all about the importance of conservation, which is an ongoing topic throughout the year.

One of the hallmarks of the International Baccalaureate's Middle Years Programme is Personal Project. MYP students in their final year explore an area of personal interest over an extended period. It provides them the opportunity to consolidate their learning and develop important skills they’ll need in both further education and life beyond the classroom. It also helps them develop confidence to become principled, lifelong learners.

The 5th grade students learned all about the Philadelphia Police and Crime Scene department from a 5th grade parent this morning.

Each student was able to participate in a fun activity where they saw how fingerprinting can be collected as evidence.
