What an incredible day in Graphic Design Studio class! Students had the exciting opportunity to create their own custom-designed T-shirts using DTF (Direct-to-Film) transfers.

Adding to the excitement, a generous community member donated high-quality T-shirts, making the experience even more special. Mrs. Davis guided the class through the DTF process, teaching them the ins and outs of this professional printing technique.

To conclude English 3's unit on The Crucible, Ms. Thorne organized an escape room that allowed students to engage with the key themes and plot points of the play in an interactive and collaborative way. Students worked in small groups to solve a series of puzzles and challenges, all related to characters, themes, and important quotes from the play. Each task required critical thinking, teamwork, and a deeper analysis of The Crucible. The final challenge involved unlocking a hidden "message" that tied back to the lessons learned from the text. The students were enthusiastic, and the activity sparked great discussions afterward.

The love bug was in the air earlier this week as our amazing secretaries got into the Valentine’s spirit for group dress-up day! ❤️✨
A friendly reminder: If Valentine’s gifts are sent to the school, students can only pick them up from the front office as they are leaving for the day. Plus, for safety reasons, no glass, sticks, or balloons are allowed on the buses.
Let’s keep the love going while following the rules! Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️🎉
