Focus On Education

Friday, September 27, 2024

This week, our Brickies spent time dreaming about and planning for the future as we celebrated College Go! Week! CGW is an annual event that takes place in Indiana, encouraging students to start thinking about their future and the possibility of pursuing higher education. It also provided a great opportunity for students to engage with their peers and learn from one another. They were able to share their dreams and aspirations, discuss their future plans, and exchange ideas on how to achieve their goals. College Go! Week was a fun and engaging experience that encouraged students to consider the endless and amazing possibilities that await them!


Take a look at this week's Focus on Education to see highlights from the week and to check out what we have coming up here in the School City of Hobart!
