So it has been a crazy last couple of weeks here at Ranum. There were a lot of celebrations, awards, field trips, and of course, reminiscing. We spent a lot of time going through past projects and reflecting on how they helped shape us this school year. Many of these projects were taken home by students so they could remind themselves over the summer of some of the things they learned. Whether it's how to better control anger (or any emotion), how to get through a difficult time, or how to keep pursuing those goals they set for themselves.
This final week of school started off with a celebration dedicated to the mentors and mentees on a successful school year. Food was brought in and we had some great superlatives ranging from most likely to be the next president to most likely to be the next spongebob. They had a lot of fun choosing superlatives for their respective mentor or mentee. Tuesday we played a few team builders that we had done at the beginning of the year and students wanted to attempt again. Wednesday was a lot of cleaning up and taking home of a lot of projects. The final day of school, Thursday, we had a rotation schedule that had students participating in different games and activities around the school. It was a nice way for students to spend their final day relaxed and able to say good bye to their friends until next school year.
Overall it was an amazing year and I wouldn't change a thing. I'm excited for a new crew of mentors and mentees next year.
Have a great summer!
