📚✨ A Special Read Across America Moment! ✨📚 Yesterday, as we celebrated Dr. Seuss Day and Read Across America, we had a heartwarming full-circle moment in our library.
Our 3rd grade teacher, Ms. Barbie, spent time reading to our senior class — the very same students she once served as their elementary school librarian. ❤️ What a beautiful way to honor the joy of reading and reflect on how far they’ve come! 📖✨

🎉 Congratulations to our February CTE Student of the Month! 🎉
We are proud to recognize Cayden Richins from our Digital Communications program as our February Career & Technical Education Student of the Month!
This year, Cayden has taken on some challenging projects and truly gone above and beyond. He has produced more photos than any other student in the program and has stepped into major leadership roles — serving as editor of the Tiger Tribune, producer of the Basketball Opening Video, and overseeing incoming photos for the yearbook.
Each time he is given a task, Mrs. Score knows it will be completed thoroughly and on time. She can always count on him for fresh, creative ideas. As a leader, he is kind, supportive, and sets a positive example for others. His work ethic and attention to detail continue to impress, and Mrs. Score shared that it is an honor to have him in class.
We are so proud of you, Cayden! Keep up the amazing work! 🐾📸🎬 #CTEStudentOfTheMonth #TigerPride

Our class was discussing the Olympics and Paralympics. "Mr. Steve" came in to visit with us about his prostheses. The students really enjoyed learning about what Mr. Steve has experienced. He shared all about the reason for his amputation and the process to heal and learn to use his new lower leg. The class wanted to know how long he healed after the surgery, (three months) and how quicky he learned to walk (right away). A student enthusiastically commented that he didn't know what a leg looked like without a foot! They were able to handle and observe one of Mr. Steve's extra legs. The information was very well presented and received. We love Mr. Steve because he's positive, fun, interesting and cool. -Ms. Barbie
