What an exciting week it's been at Telra! Our students embarked on diverse journeys across Charlotte, exploring nuclear power, Illusions, engineering, animal habitats, ancient caves, new sports and more, while fostering friendships during bus rides. Students have had a blast this week, in between their mid year testing and classroom spelling bees!
