Join Us Monday Evening at Felix Festa Middle School for Our Technology and Engaged Learning Celebration!

Tonight a group of teachers and students from Clarkstown's elementary, middle and high schools will share their experiences in our first Technology and Engaged Learning Celebration.

There are many new ways our students become engaged in their learning, but often parents, community members and even other teachers are not aware of some of the exciting activities that are done regularly, often using technology to do things that were previously impossible.  Tonight's celebration is designed in part to change that.

Today, Monday April 29, 2013, a group of teachers and students from Clarkstown's elementary, middle and high schools will share their experiences in our first Technology and Engaged Learning Celebration.
