TWOSDay 2022

Tuesday, Feb. 22, 2022 was a special day in District 153. Since the world won't see another 2-22-22--on a Tuesday-- for another 400 years, our schools marked the day with tutus, tie-dye, ties and tennies.

March madness with world music

James Hart French and World Cultures’ students will join students from over 3,000 schools worldwide in casting their first votes in Manie Musicale (Music Madness), a March Madness-style music competition. The competitors are 16 songs released this past year. Songs this year feature French, Flemish, Wolof, Arabic and English languages. Students predict and then vote on which songs will advance to the next round and which song is the overall winner. Good luck with your brackets, Panthers!

These Bulldogs are super CHILL!

What do you do with 185 empty gallon milk jugs? Build an igloo, of course! Churchill’s Daily Living Skills classroom wrapped up their study unit on winter by creating this structure, using some math and learning about recycling along the way.
