Math 1 Honors students were hard at work today, practicing linear functions.

Yesterday was more than just a day out of our school routine - it was a chance to honor, learn, and connect.
Students proudly wore hats to support our local fire department in remembrance of 9/11, a reminder of courage, sacrifice, and community strength.
• Judge Hansen encouraged us to stay responsible, safe, and respectful in the digital world.👨⚖️
• Freedom House shared the importance of healthy relationships and Erin's Law.🤍
• Students practiced bus safety.🚍
And to balance the serious with calm and joy, students explored mini-courses that sparked creativity: sidewalk chalk art, diamond art magnets, fuse bead creations, Wii game competitions, board & card games, and dot-to-dot coloring.
The heart of the day was clear: respect ourselves, care for each other, and grow together. These lessons extend far beyond the classroom, shaping the kind of community we all want to be.⚡️
