Here are the English 10 final projects for their “Personal Experience Speeches.” Each student gave a 2-4 minute speech about a personal experience that shaped their life. After the speeches, students put together collages to represent the theme of their personal experience. It was so fun to see a spoken piece become a creative work of physical art!
Please return the summer rec. registration forms to school as soon as possible. If your child needs a jersey, please order that in the online store by Wednesday. The link is below:

Adventure Club Outing @ Wildcat State Park
Hemlock Trail Description: “The narrow and rugged trail travels along the sandstone cliffs above the Kickapoo River and then begins a series of switchbacks to Mount Pisgah, an elevation change of 365 feet. An observation point at 1,220 feet above sea level has been constructed to take in the spectacular view.” ✅✅
It was a steep hike but these kids all made it to the top! So proud of them. The climb was definitely worth the view! It was a great day out in the woods! 🌲🍃🌷🌳

Thank you for taking care of us, Nurse Emily! #EveryStudentEveryDay #NationalSchoolNurseDay
