GRIP+Projects

= Get a GRIP. =

If you know any details, please share. there are some of us who are not exactly sure what is going on...

OR if you have any ideas on good projects, share them! I'm sure many of us have some good ideas we aren't going to use...but ** maybe someone else might be able to either use your idea or combine it with theirs! **

The student handbook has some great information, especially pertaining to the GRIP project. See page 50 for some great info. (THANKS CHARITY!) []

I have been very interested in looking at middle schools and if they are effective. I have always liked the idea of middle schools but I have heard of others who disagree. Since I will not be in a middle school maybe someone who is could look at any social/academic benefits or ramifications of separating that age group into a separate school :)

^^ With regards to what Ash just said, the school that I am at already has an 8-12 system, but they are looking to change that and incorporate grade 7s next year. These changes are mostly because of the whole-day kindergarten issue. So maybe that is something else for someone to explore.
