HELENA — Friday, Bryant Elementary fifth graders were celebrated after spending the school year as honorary students at Helena College.
The students visited the campus each month throughout the year, taking part in hands-on activities across different departments.
“My favorite part was that it was just fun,” student Isaiah Lesh shared.
They explored possible career paths, worked on art and science projects, and met with college students and faculty.
To wrap up the experience, Helena College hosted a graduation ceremony recognizing the students and their transition to middle school.
Student Sylvie Hockett expressed, “I am feeling really happy and excited and ready to go forward in the year.”
School leaders say the program helps students picture themselves on a college campus and begin thinking about future opportunities in higher education.
