Mrs. Stahl and Mrs. Corriveau’s12th grade Humanities students are reading about Plato and his manifesto for a better Ancient Greece. In it, he posits that the books we read to kids plant the seeds for our society. The class decided to see what “seeds” our UPK kids are sowing. UPK kids picked their favorite books, and the Humanities kids read the books (and later analyzed the messages :) ). It was so endearing. Thank you to Mrs. Stahl and Mrs. Corriveau and our seniors for this worthwhile opportunity!

Attention Seniors, if you can communicate in English and another world language, then you should consider pursuing the NY State Seal of Biliteracy. Come to an informational meeting about how to earn the Seal Tuesday, October 17th at 3:20 in Mrs. Winslow's room 218.
