TOWN OF BELOIT
In about three weeks, teachers will get their first official walk-through of Garden Prairie Intermediate School, the Beloit Turner School Districtâs newest school building.
âIâm feeling more excited every time I come here,â Superintendent Dennis McCarthy said. âItâs a lot more fun showing other people. This is amazing.â
The new building includes several collaboration areas where small groups of students or entire classes can rotate outside their usual classroom spaces during the day. McCarthy said the additional gathering areas will promote movement and offer flexibility.
âIt kind of becomes their community, their space,â he said.
