Spark Year 5. Session 7. Week 6.

The final weeks of Session 7 led to a thoughtful reflection on Ascent’s Question of the Year: “What Voice Does a Hero Listen To?” bringing into focus Sparks’ exploration of the power of their inner voice and voice of gratitude, service, creativity, and determination that occurred over the year.

During the last week of the session, the Ascent Community gathered for the Celebration of Heroes to honor all Explore, Discovery, and Spark learners. At this joyful event, each Spark received recognition to celebrate and symbolize their growth, strong connection to, and stewardship of the world around them.

As a culmination of their exploration of landforms, the Spark learners collectively built, painted, and then erupted their own volcano.

The week rounded out as Sparks joined the Discovery and Explore learners for lunch and their annual campus-wide Water Day, a beloved annual tradition at Ascent.

   

Congratulations to the Spark Learners for a year filled with growth, connection, and learning.
