Hello Geese Family,
Unfortunately, we are experiencing issues with our boiler systems and the techs have been unsuccessful so far resolving them. Temperatures in the buildings have dropped to levels below what are acceptable for student attendance. We will be observing an e-learning day for the entire district tomorrow (Thursday, January 29th). Evening activities will be addressed tomorrow and notifications sent out when decided. Thank you.
Freshman students deepened their understanding of history today by participating in a virtual tour of the Auschwitz concentration camp. Through guided exploration and reflection, students connected their learning to real historical sites, fostering empathy, historical awareness, and a deeper understanding of the events of the Holocaust.
Video games can be beneficial when used in moderation, but our brains also need regular breaks from screen time. Please take a moment to check out the graphic for some helpful tips.
Check out Kyra Galbraith's article on the game last night.

During Mrs. Rose’s Second Step lesson, preschool students learned about disabilities and the different ways individuals move and communicate, including the methods used by our Life Skills students. Mrs. Hendrix and several of her students, along with their therapy dog, Obi, joined the class as special guests to support this meaningful lesson.
