Ms. Yowell’s PE students showed off their aim and accuracy by bowling strikes on the lane set up right in the portable! Their focus, teamwork, and determination made it a fun and memorable activity. Way to rise to the challenge, Panthers!





In Ms. Ryan’s World History class, students explored the impact of bias on the way history is told—and even how it can be erased. Working in groups, students created a list of major events from the past 10 years, developed their own criteria for inclusion, and then reflected on whether their lists were biased based on what was included—or left out. #PanthersRISE

In Ms. Cannarella’s science class, students learned how germs invade our bodies and how our immune system responds to fight them off. To bring their learning to life, they created their own “germs” out of Play-Doh—making science both educational and fun! #PanthersRISE










Ms. Wilson’s Technical Theatre 1 students engaged in a creative rotation activity this week. Working in groups, they tackled thought-provoking questions that sparked critical thinking, assessed what they already knew, and set the stage for diving deeper into the world of technical theatre. This activity laid the foundation for the exciting work they’ll be building on all year long! #PanthersRISE

Our Panthers in Carpentry 1 took on the challenge of building Butterfly Houses and Castles! Along the way, they sharpened their skills in safety, following directions, and problem-solving. To top it off, they got to take their creations home to show off their craftsmanship! #PanthersRISE
Ms. Haynes’s students practiced their culinary and life skills last week by carefully following step-by-step directions to create a fun back-to-school treat—Pencil Wafer Cookies! From measuring and preparing to decorating and enjoying, the activity gave them the chance to practice sequencing, teamwork, and independence while ending with a sweet reward. #PanthersRISE
Ms. Henning’s reading students put their communication skills to the test last week. Working in teams without speaking, they relied on gestures and sounds to collaborate. Once they were allowed to talk, they quickly discovered how much easier it is to succeed with clear and specific direction, a fun and eye-opening lesson on the power of communication. #PanthersRISE


Mr. Ley’s government students dove into the landmark Supreme Court case Marbury v. Madison. Students analyzed the lasting impact of the decision and identified the parts of the Constitution or legislation it referenced. Working collaboratively, they brought their ideas to life in creative poster formats—showcasing both their critical thinking and teamwork skills! #PanthersRISE



Last week, Ms. Generazio’s art students worked together in groups to design creative posters about themselves. Each student had a specific role and responsibility, allowing them to contribute their talents while collaborating as a team. The project not only showcased their individuality but also encouraged communication, teamwork, and artistic expression. #PanthersRISE


Ms. Holt’s reading students began by reading a passage independently, then came together in small groups to dive deeper into the text. Through collaborative discussions, they tackled critical thinking questions, shared perspectives, and built on one another’s ideas. This activity not only strengthened comprehension but also encouraged communication, teamwork, and higher-level thinking. #PanthersRISE

Working in groups, students researched and analyzed key concepts that contributed to Japan’s shift from isolationism to imperialism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Engaged discussions and thoughtful collaboration set the tone for a strong start to the year! #PanthersRISE

In Period 6, Mr. Werner’s English seniors played a game called “Chuck the Cube,” where each toss revealed a chance to share their response to the first PearDeck question of the year: “What is the one thing you would like to be remembered for the most?” The activity sparked thoughtful conversation, personal reflection, and plenty of laughter along the way. #PanthersRISE
