Connecting beyond Gordon

 

From the chicks Kindergarten hatch for Casey Farm, to the eighth grade service learning project, Gordon is continually making authentic connections with the world beyond Maxfield Avenue.

It's not just in the classroom, either. As an institution, Gordon is always seeking to find ways to celebrate and support innovative, high quality education.

Three examples from next week:
