Mrs. Stultz's algebra 2 students were sent on a scavenger hunt through the 200 and 300 hallways to review for their chapter 1 test. Students had to solve a problem on a whiteboard and go find the next clue that had the answer to their previous problem. They would record their clue path on a map sheet and then present it at the end of class.

World Mental Health Day takes place every year on October 10 to spotlight mental health around the world, raise awareness of mental health issues and encourage efforts to support those experiencing mental health issues.

First Stamp is a new organization providing a TOTALLY FREE opportunity for 10th grade girls to travel abroad for 2 weeks this summer. EVERYTHING is paid for for those who are selected! Last year, the organization took 20 girls to a trip that included London and Paris. It is chaperoned by masters level educators and includes a two day orientation at Trinity University in Texas.

Traveling abroad can open a teenager's world - I hope many of our students take advantage of this opportunity! There will be a parent / family information session held in the Learning Commons at 7:30pm on October 30th!
