Scores of families visited Sussex Academy Elementary Feb. 20 to celebrate the accomplishments of students after 101 days of learning at the school’s inaugural Academic Showcase.

Designed to showcase learning and achievement, the event featured student presentations exploring their research in English Language Arts, math, science and social studies content areas.

Dean of Elementary Connie Hendricks said the inaugural showcase was a celebration of curiosity, creativity and the incredible growth students make every day.

“By sharing their work and presenting their learning, our students build confidence, communication skills and pride in what they have accomplished,” Hendricks said. “This event also highlights the strong partnership between our students, families, and staff.”
