Action Plan
Partnerships
��� Our new Science Parent Presentation Series is expanding students��� scientific horizons and knowledge while exploring cutting edge topics. This ongoing speakers
series offers insights into the practical application of scientific principles and careers
in science and technology fields.
��� Our partnership with BlackRock Center for the Arts continues with a new artist-in-residence program later this spring.
��� We are developing a new relationship with GeneDx, starting with a program about
advances in genetic testing.
��� We aim to add at least one new, sustainable partnership each year to enhance our
curriculum.
