SEND Project - Train the Champion
This SEND session on Zoom is closed for students as we will be training the local champions.
SEND Project on Zoom
In the rock climbing and skiing world, to send is “to do something challenging or difficult with high skill and style.”
The SEND Project embodies this phrase as we hope to prepare our young scholars to “send it” as they prepare for higher education and beyond.
This is a college prep project for sophomores and juniors. If you or your student is interested in participating or would like more information, please send us a message in the “Contact” section.
