On Dec. 8, the high school students taught lessons they’d developed to second grade students at Stillwater Elementary.

“The high school students observed the classes first, in order to become familiar with the second grade students and the setting,” Luskin said. “They then worked to develop engaging, age-appropriate lessons to teach to the younger students.

“It was a great experience for all involved,” she noted. “We’d like to thank the second grade team for being so helpful, flexible and accommodating.”
