Around Campus
Thank you to Link Crew for hosting Cookie Decorating for our 9th graders during lunch on Wednesday. Administrators and Counselors were in classrooms during 4th period on Thursday for Titan Talks , reminding students to finish the semester strong. On Friday, Pet Perscription was on campus and students had access to the therapy dogs.

Classroom Spotlight:
Shout Out: Mrs. Bermudez's chemistry students demonstrated excellent collaborative learning during their intermolecular forces lab. Students annotated notes, conducted lab investigations, then worked together to answer high-level post-lab questions. Throughout the activity, students used academic vocabulary and actively referenced their resources to support their reasoning. Great to see students engaging deeply with challenging content and supporting each other's understanding!
