i3 Scholars Already Taking On Active Roles Within The Academy


The school year hasn’t even started and yet we are already sure that we have the most amazing students.  Last week we had the pleasure of hosting our i3 student Architectural and Design Committees.  As we move forward with the preparations for our opening in August, we know that the success of our students is our number one priority, so it only makes sense to give them a voice during this process. 

Each of our committee meetings began with a tour of the campus and a discussion of what it really means to be an i3 student.  Then our conversations turned to some of our architectural and design needs.  We have some unique spaces here at i3 and very much want some student input on how these spaces get setup and eventually used.  We are currently looking at creating some small group breakout rooms and a production lab.  During the meeting, our Architectural Committee scholars gave honest and meaningful feedback on some of our ideas and even shared some of their own ideas that they had been working on.  It was exciting to find out that many of our ideas seemed to be aligned.  It looks like our first Design Committee priorities will be our student t-shirt designs and the design of our front gate.  Both of these projects will be a great opportunity for our scholars to really make a lasting impact on our academy.  

We would like to thank these scholars and their families for giving up part of their valuable summer to join us on these new endeavors.  i3 scholars if you were unable to attend our first meetings you are still welcome to join us for our next one.  Be sure to call or email for more information (386-437-7540 ext. 6124 or sandsk@flaglerschools.com).  Thank you for your continued support!
