Our 6th grade Magnet for Innovative Thinking students are excited to showcase their Fall Project Based Learning presentations titled “Not Waiting on the World to Change.” Students have been exploring how individual action can inspire change in others, identifying real issues on campus, and designing meaningful solutions to improve the Porter experience.
Presentations will take place on Thursday, December 11, 2025, from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM in Trojan Hall, the Library, and Room 14. A small group of invited parents and staff will participate as panelists, offering feedback to student teams as they share their ideas and solutions.
If you are interested in serving as a panelist, please complete the parent interest form by November 17, 2025. See flyer for details.

Beginning Monday, November 3rd, students are required to enter their PIN to get free lunch in the cafeteria.
