In our Current Events class, students took on the role of journalists by researching and producing their very own podcasts on recent news stories. From the upcoming Minecraft movie, to tragic plane crashes and the California wildfires, students selected topics that captured their interest and then presented their findings in an engaging and thoughtful way. This project not only encouraged deeper understanding of global events, but also helped students strengthen their research, collaboration, and communication skills.

Junior Audrey Northrup had artwork installed in the 31st Circuit Court courtroom of Judge Daniel Damman. Judge Damman asked area students to submit work to decorate his courtroom and is held a reception to celebrate the students who have their work on display in his courtroom. Judge Damman’s support and showcase of young artists in our county is unprecedented and appreciated.
