If you’ve never heard of it, take a visit to Common Ground High School in New Haven. It’s one of the first Charter Schools in the state. CGHS has a 100 percent graduation rate and 93 percent of the students get accepted to College! Now that’s COOL! Just 155 Kids in the Student Body but the teenagers are not short on enthusiasm.
Check out our story on the Environmental Ventures class. Students come up with a business plan, apply for a loan and make a profit! One example we highlited this morning, the Pedal Powered Smoothies Business!!! A blender connected to the back wheel of a bicycle makes the drinks. The other cool thing, most of the ingredients are grown on the organic farm at the school!
So much more to show and tell you from this weeks Cool School so click on the stories and video from our LIVE shots on wfsb.com
Have a great weekend and stay COOL!
