The theme this year is "Be a Hero, Stay Drug Free", participation is optional but highly encouraged. The grade level winners will be announced on Friday, October 30th and will have their designs made into large posters to be displayed around the school!

Ms. Michalek's Social Studies classes are learning to write in Cuneiform, the world's earliest known writing system!









8th grade is reading “The Monkey’s Paw” and their groups are creating plot diagrams complete with illustrations. Students will then compare and contrast these elements of the original written story with the video interpretation.
What a cool project!
