Mr. Archer's service learning students had a busy day on Friday! This group of 7th grade students are working on research for a book on Mt. Albion Cemetery. They spent time with County Historian Catherine Cooper and Hoag Librarian Elizabeth Haibach before heading to the Orleans County Alms House Cemetery to straighten headstones.

Mrs. Klips's Global students had some fun playing The Mongol Empire and Its Master Warriors board game this week. It was a fun way to break up the lesson and encourage high levels of engagement leading to better participation and connections to the topic.

Before break, our middle schoolers were treated to some activity time including bingo and karaoke. It's always important to have a little fun alongside learning!

Mrs. Mrzywka's class had a special treat this week when maintenance workers Mrs. Swan and Mrs. DeClerck stopped in to read to the class. It was extra special since Mrs. DeClerck's grandson is in that classroom. Thank you both for spending some time with our students!

This morning we thanked our bus drivers with a breakfast, an annual event to show our appreciation for all that they do. THANK YOU!
