Third graders and preschoolers are working in partnership to complete hands-on activities that are tied to the books read during library time. There are many skills worked on during this time for both age groups, but the biggest benefit is the friendships developed between older and younger students. #gameon

HHS Volleyball Tonight at HHS Matches starting at 4:00 PINK OUT!

Ms. Clark's MTSS has been studying cryptozoology this week, reading articles about Bigfoot, Chupacabra, and Skinwalkers. The articles explain the scientific reasons and beliefs behind these mythical beasts and how they influence different cultures.

On Monday, our 8th grade and 10th grade students participated in Reality U, a 90-minute financial literacy simulation that gives students a glimpse into what life could look like as a 26 year old. Each student is provided a monthly income, credit card debt, as well as their marital and family status. Students visit various stations where they manage their monthly finances, including paying their mortgage, utilities, food, car and medical insurance, as well as other common monthly expenses. Thank you to our community volunteers who helped make this simulation possible!
