HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A group of 6th Grade Ambassadors at Graber Elementary School in Hutchinson USD 308 hosted a special tour of the school Monday morning to show off progress on the school's redesign program.
Graber became a part of the Apollo II redesign program this school year after gaining approval from the USD 308 School Board in 2020. The school then spent a year putting the redesign into place before this year's launch. The ambassadors answered questions about their school newsletter, GLOW meetings, and progress charts.
The redesign project requires schools to remodel their academic programs to create successful high school students. Schools chosen for the state’s redesign program spend one year planning what changes to carry out. They then apply the changes the following year.
The Kansas Can Project was initially announced in 2017 after the Kansas Department of Education got feedback that the community wanted more focus on students’ nonacademic skills.
