🎄🎁Mrs. Buckner's LHS leadership class worked hard over several class periods on the elementary Christmas gift shopping project. Elementary students were able to shop (for no cost) for gifts for their families. The LHS leadership class collected donations, prepared the shopping area, and helped the elementary students make gift choices. Thank you, LHS leadership class! #wechooselearning #wildcatpride🧡🖤 #strivingforexcellence⭐️

Students at the Elementary today had the opportunity to see the NED Show! NED taught students about having a growth mindset and persevering. NED stood for Never give up, Encourage others, and Do your best! They searched for treasure, climbed Mt. Everest with Yet the Yeti, and even saw aliens! Illusions, humor, and yo-yo tricks made for a great assembly!

Administration had the privilege of hearing presentations from the College Communications Class on their ideas on school improvement. Amazing job, students!

JH students were all comfy and cozy, rocking their Pj's for the theme of Polar Express today!
