LICKING R-VIII SCHOOL DISTRICT - Home of the Wildcats

🏀Coaches Versus Cancer🏀 Our two home high school basketball games this week are "Coaches vs. Cancer" games. Many of us have been touched by cancer either through a diagnosis of our own or of someone close to us. At the games, there will be community cancer support organizations present to share information. Visitors to the games will be able to donate to those organizations if they choose to do so. 💜The theme for Tuesday night's game is to wear purple. Purple is the color that covers all types of cancer. Be on the lookout for an update about Thursday night's theme. Thank you for supporting our athletes and our community. #WildcatPride🧡🖤

📚Mrs. Coffey says, "All three 4th grade classes have been patiently waiting for the end of this book, "The One and Only Ivan." Today was the day and now they all are excited to continue reading the rest of the books in this series.

🟧⬛Students in Mr. Snelling’s Computer Science class participated in the annual event “Hour of Code” this week. Mr. Snelling shares, "We live in a world surrounded by technology. And we know that whatever field our students choose to go into as adults, their ability to succeed will increasingly depend on understanding how technology works." "Only a fraction of us are learning how technology works. Only 51% of all high schools offer computer science." "That’s why our Computer Science Class joined in on the largest learning event in history: The Hour of Code, during Computer Science Education Week (December 4-10). More than 100 million students worldwide have already tried an Hour of Code. Hour of Code is making a statement that Licking High School is ready to teach these foundational 21st-century skills. " See http://hourofcode.com/us/en for details, and help spread the word. #wechooselearning💻 #strivingforexcellence⭐ #WildcatPride🧡🖤
