One of the greatest benefits of a quality education is the development of student creativity and independent voice. Students at Folsom Elementary demonstrated both at the campus' very first Open Mic Night at the end of the first semester. Students from Kindergarten to 5th grade were encouraged to submit an original piece of writing that they were proud of and wanted to share. These students were invited to read their writing in the Folsom Library "Coffee House" in front of their families, peers, and teachers. This was an amazing event showcasing the incredible talent of many amazing Folsom students!
