This Thursday, we celebrated Hispanic culture in food, music, dance, and clothing! Students and staff were invited to wear traditional clothing. Several families donated food items for a staff lunch and display for students. In the afternoon, under the direction of dance intructor, Sra. Paola Velez, students enjoyed a traditional dance performance and a costume parade. She ended the assembly with bachata, salsa, and merengue lessons for all. Thank you to our families, students, staff, and community members who are contributing to making this four weeks of celebration a blast. There is more to come! ¡Viva la Hispanidad!

We are excited to share that this year, our 9th grade students have a special opportunity to gain some knowledge and skills regarding the science of learning! What is the science of learning? The science of learning is the practical application of cognitive research about how we learn. It will help students understand and retain strategies that promote deeper learning and longer retention of information. Students are expected to begin this program on October 17th. We look forward to sharing more about this in the coming weeks.
