Supreme Court Calling!

Sophomore Civic classes are working on their Supreme Court Case Project. Students are looking at a specific case, the amendment connected to it, the ruling, the perspective and how it applies to today. It is great to see students so invested in their case and make the connection to the impact it has on present day!

Springtime in February

With a few rare warm days, Sassy was able to get out and enjoy the weather! Photography student Maya captured some great shots of Sassy while she was working hard at school on Tuesday. #notattheparade

Book of the Week

In honor of the Chinese New Year, Year of the Pig!

Peony In Love / Lisa See
In post-Ming dynasty China, Peony, a young girl betrothed to someone she has never met, observes a handsome man while hidden from view at a performance of the opera "The Peony Pavilion"--a work that has compelled young Chinese women to starve themselves to death--and, dead at sixteen, begins a transformative journey as a "hungry ghost."

Keeping the Cold Away!

 Arctic Chill

Even through the arctic blast, students are buckling down and working hard! It has been an active week in the library with freshmen English classes beginning their research writing paper. We have been learning about how to effectively evaluate sources and the merits of using an academic database for research.

The Library...it's not just for studying...

 

While the library is always a place to study, read and collaborate, it is also a place where students can relax and unwind during the day especially during the doldrums of winter! Students have been very active at the puzzle table this week and their enthusiasm is contagious!

Book of the Week

Visualizing the Beatles: A Complete Graphic History of the World's Favorite Band / John Pring 

From the very beginning, the Beatles rocked the world.  Their sound, their look, their songwriting, their live performances . . . everything they touched became part of their lore—part of the story of the greatest pop band in the history of the world.  And while the story of the lads from Liverpool might now feel familiar, in Visualizing the Beatles John Pring and Rob Thomas capture their music and magic in a unique and imaginative way, driven by stunning graphics.
