Sixth Grade Camp

Grant TK-8 First Lego League Teams

Grant TK-8 First Lego League Teams

In typical times, all Grant sixth graders, who elect to attend, spend a week at an outdoor science education sleep away camp in Cuyamaca Rancho State Park.  This is an amazing experience where students are able to learn more about themselves, their peers,  and nature.   As a parent/guardian you have the option of paying in full, starting a payment plan, or paying your child's tuition plus donating to help cover costs of travel and scholarships.  Additionally, to ensure every child who wants to attend camp is able to do so, 6th grade parents are fundraising over the course of the year.

Grant TK-8 First Lego League Teams

In 2019/2020 Grant had 4 First Lego League Teams. The two junior teams participated in an Expo contest at LegoLand. The season for the senior teams was cut short, but they were able to present their projects to the PTA. We are looking forward to restarting this program after the COVID-19 crisis has passed. The Grant Community Foundation provided a starter grant and continues to subsidize team registration. Thank You!
