🖋️🦅 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! 👏📚🖤

Last week, McDonald staff joined students in celebrating Red Ribbon Week (October 27–31) to promote healthy, drug-free lifestyles. The week began with lessons about the meaning behind the red ribbon and its significance. Students signed pledges to stay drug-free, helped decorate bulletin boards, and had a chance to win candy bars and Ianazone’s gift cards. Midweek, every student received a silicone bracelet as a reminder of their commitment, and on Thursday, everyone wore red to show their support. The week wrapped up with a special message on the morning announcements—reminding everyone to be kind to your mind and live drug-free! 💙
💙🏃♀️🏃♂️ Blue Devils at the State Meet!

🔥 Naomi Sheesley led the girls with an outstanding 4th-place finish and time of 18:38.94.
💪 Joey Cappuzzello paced the boys with a 23rd-place finish in 16:14.56, wrapping up a strong season among the state’s top runners.
We’re so proud of all our Blue Devils for their hard work, determination, and teamwork all season long. What a way to represent McDonald on the biggest stage! 💙
