TVHS Trivia
A new feature this year -- TVHS Trivia. Would you like to know more about TVHS? The staff had an opportunity to do just that. During the 12 days before Winter Break, the staff got to have some fun learning about some of the history of TVHS. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did. There will be a new Trivia question each week.

Exchange Students
Italian exchange students Beatrice and Azzurra gave a presentation in several Spanish 1 classes about the Carnival celebration in Italy. They shared personal anecdotes, pictures and videos to show how Italians celebrate this holiday. They also gave a tutorial on how to dance la tarantella calabrese, a popular traditional dance from the Calabria region.
Additionally, students had fun creating and wearing their own Carnival masks, making the experience even more engaging.
Some Library Fun
Come visit us in the library to see all our wonderful displays created by our talented students. Very impressive! We also have plenty of new books to check out & host monthly book clubs for both staff and students. Hope to see you soon.

Did you know February is most notable for both valentines day and Black History Month? February is also the shortest month of the year, with only 28 days. - Google
February is designated as American Heart Month (AHM). Below is some information on the heart. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the US. Everyday the heart consists of 115,000 beats per day, and pumps at least 2,000 gallons of blood! If your heart ever was disconnected from your body...it would still continue beating. More heart attacks occur on Mondays than any other day of the week! In honor of AHM, let's all take care of our cardiovascular systems!
