We had our No Place for Hate kick-off. Students were introduced to the No Place for Hate Pledge and given the opportunity to sign it. Students participated in a Homeroom “get to know you” activity where they had a chance to answer questions about themselves in small groups. For students to respect each other, it starts with them getting to know each other!

The Red Ribbon Week campaign is one of the oldest and largest drug prevention awareness campaigns. This year's theme was, "Life is a movie, film drug free." Red Ribbon Week is an opportunity for people of all ages to come together and take a stand against drug use.

Seventh grade Social Studies classes started the year by learning about geography. Students used their knowledge of geography to explore their own community. They created individualized maps and mini travel brochures for Huntingdon Valley by researching physical features, landmarks, people, places, and other geographical features of their town. They had a great time creating these and the projects helped students get to know their community on a much deeper level. Students are currently studying European history and starting the Document Based Question (DBQ) writing process.

On Thursday, October 31st, all students learned about Diwali and on Monday, November 4th, classes learned about the electoral process. We’ve been using what we are learning about the creation of the United States’s first government to put into context our current election.

We are looking forward to learning about Veterans Day on November 11th. In addition to learning about Veterans Day, students will make holiday cards to send to Montgomery County Veterans.

Students and staff had the option to dress up for our Halloween-themed spirit day!
