Two teams of 1st and 2nd grade students participated in Destination Imagination Rising Stars, where creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving took center stage. This year’s challenge, Helping Hands, encouraged students to explore the important roles of community helpers and how teamwork makes a difference.
Students researched various community helpers and worked in teams to create an original story featuring two helpers working together to solve a problem, highlighting cooperation and critical thinking. In preparation for the event, students practiced 2–3 times a week, building their set and props, creating a song, and rehearsing their performance as a team. Through this process, students strengthened communication skills, creativity, and confidence.
We extend a special thank-you to Mrs. Valdez and Mrs. Gomez, who served as the Team Managers for the event, guiding and supporting our students every step of the way. We are incredibly proud of our young innovators for their dedication, teamwork, and imagination!
