Exploring the Experiential School: A Grandparent Council Gathering

At the first Grandparent Council gathering of the year, attendees were treated to a peek inside the Experiential School with a presentation from Adriana Hollenbeck, Head of The Experiential School of Tampa Bay. Adriana thoughtfully outlined the  innovative curriculum, emphasizing ongoing projects and underscoring the integral role played by parents/guardians and grandparents in shaping the program. It became clear that the Experiential School thrives on fostering a strong sense of community involvement and cooperation.

Adriana introduced one of her meticulously handcrafted wooden puppets, showcasing her unique craft and how it has been integrated into the educational experience offered by the Experiential School. Puppetry brings an exceptional dimension to the school's storytelling approach, creating an engaging and imaginative atmosphere for students. The gathering's attendees departed feeling inspired and enthusiastic about the exciting learning journey that the youngest Chargers are embarking on in the Experiential School.
