Marilynn Smith, Orchard Lake Elementary
Impact Academy

 Impact Academy - K-3 at Orchard Lake Elementary this fall, a block schedule learning model that swaps classrooms of desks for multi-age learning levels with furniture like bean bags and tables and traditional learning for integrated studies and problem-solving activities that connect learning to real-world issues.

The goal is to have Orchard Lake Media Center become the learning space for Impact Academy and the media center would be moved into two classrooms.
