On Earth Day, Mrs. Bocian’s 6th grade science classes went outside and got an introduction to nature journaling. It’s a great way to connect with nature, sharpen observations skills, and manage stress.

On Friday, Ms. Barabasz’s 7th grade Honors class had a debate arguing the proposition, “violence is never justified.” Three speakers from each team presented their arguments and were then cross-examined by the opposing team. Rebuttal speakers presented concluding statements and a team of judges, made of both students and teachers) determined a winner. Both teams were lead by a chairwoman that organized the event. Ultimately the judges decided that the affirmative team was the most convincing, but all students presented very convincing arguments.

Mrs. Martucci's class celebrated "Stargirl Day" after they finished reading the novel. Some students chose to dress up like the main character or bring in “pets” to represent Stargirl’s pet rat Cinnamon that she brings everywhere with her. The class also wrote anonymous notes to staff or friends to spread joy, and shared acts of kindness while listening to uplifting music that celebrated friendship, individuality, love and being fearless!
