Enrichment is Fun!
The First Week
The First Week
Students enter the Enrichment portable a different way this year.
Only the Brave
Only the Brave
Students at Aquarian are brave. Overcoming their fears, every student ventured to cross the threshold.
The Tunnel
The Tunnel
This dark and mysterious tunnel appeared where the door once stood. Students found a new threshold appearing before them. Will they make the crawl into the unknown?

New Beginnings
The new and not-so-new made the crossing with smiles and yelps of joy. Welcome to another year of Aquarian Enrichment.
2025/26 Lego League team, Aquarian's Pink Dino Diggers! We worked on preserving artifacts washed up from coastal erosion.
Lego League
Lego League
While Lego League is not an official Enrichment activity, or part of the PLTW curriculum, it has been running at Aquarian for over 20 years. Every year we start over. Students participating in Lego League get to discover it for themselves. I do not believe in doing it for them. This year we are practicing after school. It will be an ASA on Tuesday and Thursday. The competition is usually in early December. Be sure to check out the ASA list coming out soon. 8/21/26
"The function of education is to teach intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education." - Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Knowing how to think empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think." ~ Neil deGrasse Tyson
“Be a bush if you can’t be a tree. If you can’t be a highway, just be a trail. If you can’t be a sun, be a star. For it isn’t by size that you win or fail. Be the best of whatever you are.”
– Martin Luther King, Jr.
2026-2027 School Year: I am looking forward to next year! I will supply students with journals to get started. Students will see me once or twice a week for 45 minutes. We will engage with science and math-related curriculum. I've given a brief explanation of the program below, and the letter below goes deeper into what the program covers.
Aquarian Enrichment is all about Project Lead the Way!

"APB: The Building Blocks of PLTW’s Curriculum
Our activity-, project-, and problem-based (APB) instructional design centers on hands-on, real-world activities, projects, and problems that help students understand how the knowledge and skills they develop in the classroom may be applied in everyday life. The APB approach scaffolds student learning through structured activities and projects that empower students to become independent in the classroom and help them build skill sets to apply to an open-ended design problem.
This approach provides students with unique opportunities to work collaboratively, identify problems, apply what they know, persevere through challenges, find unique solutions, and lead their own learning." ~ PLTW Documentation
