Students work on clay projects, small houses.

Every Friday, the 6th grade splits up into four teams and goes to the gym to have a geography bee with the 7th grade. This is just one of the teams.

Research has proven that playing hard, eating well and transition time in the computer makes for smarter healthier children. Albrook’s new elementary day has brought proven research to help our students do their very best!
