Cougar Roar 2024
Belong, Learn, Have Fun!
From Principal McAdams
Week 4
Hi Cougar Family,
What a great week ahead of us! Get to class on time, pay attention, ask questions, be engaged. Remember to check your infinite campus to stay ahead of your assignments and attend your teacher's tutoring sessions weekly. I challenge each of you to join a club or play a sport here at the school. Remember to Belong, Have Fun, and Learn.
I will be out and about along with my staff attending our sports games, sitting in on classroom sessions, and as always duty in the cafe. Please stop by and say hello! I am always up for a handshake, high five, or a hug.
As always, thank you for allowing me and my staff to serve you!
Always,
Principal McAdams

What's happening in our classrooms!
Early Childhood Education Classes
Brooke Morris' upper-level pathway classes recently explored the power of design thinking by taking on the challenge of designing an ideal wallet tailored to a specific user's needs. In this engaging activity, students honed their employability skills, with a particular focus on creativity—a key asset in today's workforce. Through thoughtful communication and interviews with their partners, students identified unique needs and preferences, resulting in customized wallet designs. Each student then presented their creation, highlighting the key features and explaining how those features catered to their user's requirements. This hands-on experience not only sparked creativity but also reinforced the importance of user-centered design in problem-solving.
