Ever wondered how a sketch on a screen becomes something you can hold? Garfield School fifth grade KEEP students did — and they found out at the public library! 📚➡️🖥️➡️🖨️ Students designed in Tinkercad with Ms. Curry in their classroom and then visited the Kearny Public Library and learned about 3D printing. Students watched their creations come to life. From pixels to print — pure joy and curiosity ✨Thank you to the Kearny Public Library!!!!

Garfield School's counselor, Mrs. Balogh, has been popping up all over the school lately... in Bitmoji form! She challenged our students to a scavenger hunt with an important message: "Make Smart Choices." Students had to keep their eyes peeled to find the specific Bitmojis that were "a little different" from the rest. The sharp-eyed detectives who found them earned some well-deserved Rocky Bucks to spend at the school store!
