Future scientists in the making 🔬✨

Our Upward Bound scholars had an incredible visit to Teva, where they explored careers in the pharmaceutical industry, participated in hands-on experiments, and learned directly from an inspiring panel of professionals. To top it all off, they enjoyed lunch and even got a cool ice cream demonstration! 🍦

Experiences like this open doors, spark curiosity, and bring classroom learning to life. The future is bright! 💊🧪

Our students embraced Wellness Day with open minds and hearts 💚—exploring meditation 🧘‍♂️, practicing yoga 🧘‍♀️, expressing creativity through painting 🎨, learning to make healthy snacks 🥗🍎, and finding calm through music meditation 🎶✨. A beautiful day of balance, growth, and self-care 🌿💫
