9th GRADE UPDATES
For Friday's half-day, the Freshman Class participated in activities related to the Travis Manion Foundation. Students performed skits related to one of the 24 character strengths and listened to a presenter from the foundation.
English 9- MyPaymentsPlus will remain open for one more week if you'd like to purchase a copy of either Romeo & Juliet or To Kill a Mockingbird. Purchasing these books is entirely optional, but it would allow your son/daughter to annotate the text as they read it.
8th GRADE UPDATES
On Monday, November 4, students in Spanish 1 celebrated DÃa de los Muertos, Day of the Dead, by watching Coco and eating yummy treats. DÃa de los Muertos is a Mexican holiday celebrated on November 1st and 2nd that honors and remembers those who have passed away. Friends and family create altars in their homes filled with pictures, candles, flowers and food, as well as decorate tombstones of their loved ones who have passed away.
7th GRADE UPDATES
7-2: The fourth installment of the Team 7-2 Games is completed! The team ventured to the Tennis Courts last Friday and competed in an oldie but goodie 7-2 game, Jump Around! Each team had three jump ropes tied together and the students had to complete three jumps in a row, gradually adding additional jumpers after each successful series of three jumps. It was a tight competition, but Mr. Barno's team emerged victorious! The current overall winner is still Hilbert, but there is a trio tied for second place: Barno, Brunner, and Garland! It's getting interesting!
In the continuing quest for the Victory Cup, Team 7-0 competed in a scavenger hunt last Friday. Students worked together to complete challenges, taking photos of their myriad achievements. The competition was close--with mere seconds separating the winners, but Mrs. Madden's I & E class snagged first place (again)! Tied for second were Ms. D'Arcangelo's and Mrs. Smith's I&E classes with Ms. Ambrosini's I & E class taking third place. Mrs. Madden's class stands as the overall leader right now with the other classes clamoring to snatch the Victory Cup from them in our November competitions. (photos texted to KS)
