We are so excited to expand our team of learning designers at CSI this school year! Our new learning designers - some new to the teaching profession and some with many years of teaching experience - have been on campus these past couple of days to learn about what makes CSI unique. Yesterday, Maureen Carroll from Lime Design joined our new learning designers (along with some of our veteran CSI team) for a day of hands-on learning, taking them through the design thinking process and learning about design abilities through watercolors. We look forward to applying our learning when our students return to school on Thursday, August 19th!

"Writing will help me be more creative in whatever job I have," says Yehyun. She earned CSI's First Place Accomplished Writer award last spring for her story From a Dog Punching Bag to a Star. That award qualified her for the District's Rising Young Author recognition program.
In addition to earning accolades for her book, she won a drawing at the event for a Nook e-reader device. She's pictured here with event co-sponsor Jill Douglas of School Innovations & Achievement.
Yehyun's parents say that she loves reading and writing. "Sometimes she struggles," they say. "But she never gives up."
