An ESU 16 High Ability Learner workshop went on the road to Hershey School on Thursday Dec.3 for the HAL students in grades 3-6. There were "Puzzles Galore" and the kids did a great job of using all sorts of teamwork, creativity, communication and problem solving skills! A great time was had by all, and we are already making plans for next time!!
