At HAPS, our Magnet Discovery Learning day was filled with a variety of fun and creative activities. Students explored candle making, crafted unique cross-stitch jewelry, and learned the art of line dancing. They also got artistic with rock painting and 3D printing creations. For those who loved to sing, karaoke was a hit, while others challenged themselves with puzzles and diamond painting. It was a day full of hands-on experiences, teamwork, and creative expression!
We love seeing our educators working together and being celebrated!!
