Advisory is another tool in our tool box at CAIR.  Homeroom Teachers will be working with students on number of different activities from how to set up a calendar for themselves, getting to know their peers and staff, how to fill out a resume or housing application, how to plan what to cook and use a grocery ad to do.  Many life skills that will transfer over to their learning in the classroom will be talked about and worked on.  We are excited about rolling this out and seeing where it takes us.

Vanessa Swartz originally joined CAIR as part of the Missouri Options Program this fall.  She decided she'd like to go the more traditional route and moved to the Transitions program later in the year.  Vanessa demonstrated her excellence as a student early on by scoring a 20 on the ACT as part of the Duke TIP program in middle school. She was a model student during her time in Mr. Jarrett's homeroom earning gold sheet status and completing additional coursework to graduate this spring.  Vanessa plans to attend Metropolitan Community College in the fall.  Vanessa has a love for music and pop culture as well as having an excellent approach to life.  It has been a joy and pleasure to work with her this year and we wish her the best.

On January 23, 2018, the 4th and 5th grade Focus students began the collaborative work for their winning exhibit design, The Big Brain Theory.  The students met the design teams from Burns & McDonnell and Science City and began to discuss the timeline for making the The Big Brain Theory come to life.  The project has a one-million dollar budget, and the students were charged with thinking about the most important parts of their design and how their design will integrate with the exhibits that currently surround the build-area.  After the meeting, the students toured Burns & McDonnell and were amazed as they experienced the work environment of the 16th rated Fortune's 2017 list of Best Companies to Work For.
