Every year, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the “Mini Term” weeks, are busy ones at Mustard Seed. It is a time to learn together, build community and discover new interests. It is a time for eighth grade students to take on leadership roles. A time for students to meet teachers from other grades. This year’s electives covered topics as diverse as origami, jogging, and American Sign Language.
Here are some of the unique experiences of the season:
