👑🎓Seniors started their day a little extra yesterday 👑🎓
Before the bell even rang, they were busy making crowns, laughing, and kicking off the morning together. Just one more moment showing the spirit, creativity, and leadership from the Class of 2026. We love seeing seniors show up early and make memories.

Our EL Language Lab B and Developing Language B students teamed up for a special Thanksgiving project—and they shined!
Students explored Thanksgiving history, built vocabulary together, and practiced sharing their ideas in English. The unit wrapped up with a student-led Thanksgiving celebration featuring student-made games, scripts, pumpkin pie & hot chocolate. They ended with a photo reflection created in Canva (attached).
We’re so proud of their hard work, teamwork, and creativity!
