On Wednesday, Principal Murphy visited a 2nd-grade class at Wilkinson Elementary as part of Celebrate Literacy Week. She chose to share "The Monster at the End of This Book," a cherished childhood favorite that she later loved reading to her own boys, bringing her lifelong love of reading full circle. The visit was filled with laughter, engagement, and a shared joy for reading. #PanthersRISE

Ms. Pena’s Spanish 3 IB/AICE students were deeply engaged in rigorous language learning as they built proficiency and confidence in Spanish through meaningful, real-world application. Using their workbooks and digital tools, students expanded academic vocabulary related to the environment and recycling while practicing subjunctive forms and expressions of certainty through writing, conversation, and collaborative work. The students compared responses with peers, strengthened grammar skills, and applied their learning in context, meeting the high expectations of IB and AICE coursework while developing strong communication skills in Spanish. #PanthersRISE
