Dear Families,
Welcome back, iLEAD Lancaster DreamUp to Space Team White Willow Tree (Salix alba)! This stellar team recently presented their experiment design at the Astronauts Memorial Foundation Center for Space Education at Kennedy Space Center. Their research, exploring the medicinal properties, oxygen production, and CO₂ absorption of white willow trees in space, has the potential to significantly impact future space travel and colonization. Their experiment will be launching to the International Space Station Laboratory!
Our vision at iLEAD Lancaster is to cultivate a generation of empathetic citizens who are committed to making a difference. This week, as we celebrate the spirit of love and compassion, we’re reminded of the importance of empathy. In our iLEAD community, we strive to create a safe and inclusive environment where every learner feels valued and respected. Through various initiatives and programs, we’re encouraging our learners to seek to understand and appreciate one another. We are looking forward to an inspiring week of personalized, project-based, and social-emotional learning ahead!
To all who are interested in joining us at iLEAD Lancaster, we are pleased to let you know that we currently have limited seats available for this spring and we are accepting applications for our 2025-26 enrollment lottery. Simply fill out our enrollment application to get started. In addition, we are offering campus tours of iLEAD Lancaster. RSVP here.
