The 2015-2016 school year has taken off! We had a blast setting off our rockets at the Annual Diamond Ridge Rocket Launch in mid-September. Each class came up with at least one goal that they shared before launching their rocket. You could feel the enthusiasm of teachers and students as they reach for new heights this year!
