On Thursday, April 6, Twin Oaks Christian School hosted our annual Festival of Learning, one of our favorite community gatherings of the year. Each grade level was assigned an area of study, such weather, the human body, planets, science experiments, and much more. The students worked throughout the quarter to research, write, create, and finalize their projects.

During the day, students had the opportunity to visit other classes and learn from their peers, while in the evening, parents and friends came to visit and ask the students questions about their research.

This academic showcase started many years ago at TOCS, and it continues to be an event that students and families look forward to each year.

We are beyond proud of our students and their hard work!

Academic Excellence:

• Encouragement to develop a growth mindset that allows student to work through challenges with perseverance and resilience and to view failure as an opportunity for growth
