On November 11, Ms. Rozzo's Government classes, in conjunction with Mrs. Stonestreet and Student Council, put together a breakfast to celebrate and appreciate those who had served in the military or are currently serving. The junior classes signed paper feathers with words of thanks and gratitude that art instructor Mrs. Mills used to form an eagle. There was a nice turnout of several veterans and their families to enjoy the catered Panera breakfast. During the meal, a saxophone trio led by sophomore David Suverison played "America the Beautiful". As the event closed, each veteran, including our superintendent, Mr. Carkido, signed a poster board that will be hung in the study hall.

Last week, while our American counterparts were celebrating Halloween, Mrs. Evans’ French classes brought a bit of spooky history to life! 🇫🇷💀

They transformed an unused area of the school into their own version of the Parisian Catacombs, where millions of corpses were housed during the 18th-century plague. For this immersive lesson, students decoded information in French from tombstones tied to famous historical figures to solve a series of challenging word puzzles.

Students described the experience as “a cross between National Treasure and The Goonies”, an eerily fun and educational adventure! 🗝️📜✨

🖋️🦅 Exploring Symbolism with Mr. Domitrovich’s English 9 Class! 🦅🖋️

After studying the works of Edgar Allan Poe, Mr. Domitrovich’s English 9 students designed and presented their own Coat of Arms projects. Each creation represented personal symbols, values, and themes inspired by Poe’s writing.

This activity brought literature and creativity together, allowing students to connect deeply with the text while expressing their individuality. Great work, English 9! 👏📚🖤
