During the week of Dec. 8, fifth-graders celebrated Computer Science Education Week by participating in their first Hour of Code.

With the help of teacher Scott Garofola, the students played games that taught them the basics of the coding language Python.

“The students were extremely excited to be part of the event,” Mr. Garofola said of the coding activity, which has been implemented on six of the seven continents. “They have even requested to continue learning about coding.”
