Explore! 4th graders spent the last two weeks bringing figurative language to life through Southern Word's Residency Program. Parents and staff gathered in the Library as students showcased their hard work with a Poetry Slam. We are so proud of our 4th grade poets and grateful for a fruitful partnership with Southern Word!

Cash was introduced to breakdancing through Construct during his Kindergarten Passions program two years ago. Our long-time community partner, Construct, is a street styles based dance studio here in Nashville. Now in 2nd Grade, Cash joined his Construct teachers on WKRN News 2 "Local on 2 Live" yesterday to showcase their youth breakdancing program! We love seeing Explorers find and pursue their passions.
