The 8th grade students spent part of last week creating and sharing presentations about things that really interest each of them. There was quite a variety of topics, and their presentations were a lot of fun! Mrs. Herrmann certainly enjoyed learning about some of the students’ favorite things! It was nice to take the time to celebrate things that truly matter to the students.

Lots of green today at the Grade School! Hope your St. Patrick's Day was great!
