The Academic Challenge is a free enrichment program for all students in K-5 at Puesta del Sol. This is an optional, non-competitive program for students to challenge themselves, and foster a love of learning and exploration beyond the classroom. Activities can be completed in Spanish or English. Each student can earn an Academic Challenge Trophy and/or the Principal's Medal depending on what activities are completed. Awards will be granted at a school-wide assembly in June.
In order to earn an Academic Challenge Trophy, each student must complete 5 out of the 7 Challenge Activities listed below and submit a Final Submission Form which is mandatory.
