Surveying Other Clubs By Georden

                                                                 By Georden Burton                                                                                                                             

Today I went to each club and interviewed multiple students.

We first asked them what their names were and their grades. Then we surveyed them on their favorite hobbies.

We collected information that allows us to assess each student's career goals.

I learned that most students liked Sports and Dance.

I asked two students about their experience during the first week of Engineering Club.

"I learned that triangles are the strongest shape." -Huntley 3rd Grade

"We're Going To College" Culminating Event June 2016

                   
                    

Every Spring and Summer, the CYCSI program staff and students host the Culminating Event to display all of the hard work and effort that each club has put into developing new skills and talents for the kids. Whether it's dance, or even engineering, each and every student gets a chance to show their parents how hard they worked to do something spectacular. 

The Culminating Event was a huge success and we hope that the Summer edition will be ever better

Congrats to the Graduating Staff of 2016
