Updates and Info
Students brought so much creativity and thoughtfulness to their modern day adversity poems and monologues. We explored metamorphic rock and completed our social studies presentations and assessment on Meso-American civilizations.

Students discussed sugar content in drinks and advertising strategies during a presentation from a community nutrition expert entitled "Rethink your Drink." All the learning ended with a recipe and taste test of a delicious, healthy smoothie!
