Freshmen had a fun Friday starting the day with a volleyball spirit rally and a Fall Fest during lunches. We think they had a little too much fun pieing staff in the face!😂

Marketing and business instructor Mrs. Kirk participated in the first AL (Adjusted Learning) Together. Staff is invited to come teach a skill to our adjusted learning classrooms. Ms. Kirk taught the students about logos and had them randomly pick socks with different brand designs. They then colored a turkey with the colors from the brand! #BetterTogether156
