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.

Ms. Holt’s reading students began by reading a passage independently, then came together in small groups to dive deeper into the text.

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

Ms. LaPierre’s students took on a fun teamwork challenge this week. Working in a circle and holding hands, they had to pass a hula hoop all the way around without breaking the chain. The activity required communication, problem-solving, and cooperation. Afterwards, the class reflected on how teamwork is essential, both in the kitchen and in life. #PanthersRISE






In Ms. Crews’s and Ms. Dupont’s 9th Grade English classes, students started the year by discovering what connects them. Using paper hexagons, each student shared personal interests, hobbies, and passions. Then, they linked their hexagons together to show the connections they have with their classmates. The growing web of hexagons became a visual reminder that, even in a new class, there’s always common ground and shared experiences. #PanthersRISE




Mr. Schellhorn’s 9th Grade English students kicked off the year with teamwork, creativity, and connection! Students engaged in interactive activities that got them talking, thinking, and working together. From sharing ideas to setting expectations for the year, the focus was on building a supportive and collaborative classroom community. This group is ready to tackle literature, writing, and big ideas, all while supporting one another along the way! #PanthersRISE
