My Project

My students are truly exceptional! They are full of questions and anticipation with these hands-on learning projects and challenges that allow them to inquire and explore! It's an amazing sight to see a room full of frenzied students feeding off each other's ideas when working together to build and create something of their own, especially when it comes to STEM activities!

Coming to school each day and having students take chances, think outside the box, and grow socially, personally, and academically make LMAAC a wonderful place to be!
