This year, our Early Childhood 1 students have built a strong foundation in caring for infants and toddlers, with a focus on health, safety, and developmentally appropriate practices. The first group of students recently took home infant simulators to apply what they’ve learned in a real-world setting. We are proud to share that all four students did an outstanding job and passed with flying colors! #PanthersRISE

On Tuesday, some of our students had the powerful opportunity to hear from Holocaust speakers who shared deeply personal family histories. Both speakers spoke about their grandparents’ experiences as Holocaust survivors, bringing history to life in a way that textbooks simply cannot.
Through these stories, students gained a deeper understanding of resilience, courage, and the importance of remembering the past. Experiences like this help our students not only learn history but also connect with it, ensuring that these voices and lessons are never forgotten. #PanthersRISE

Our world history students had the opportunity to engage in a meaningful, impactful learning experience by exploring a traveling Holocaust cattle-car exhibit and accompanying displays. Through scheduled small-group presentations in the cattle car, students experienced history in a powerful, personal way, while additional artifacts in the nearby classroom allowed for continued reflection and learning throughout the day. This experience helped bring their studies to life and deepened their understanding of the human impact of historical events.
A special thank you to Ms. Ryan, whose effort and coordination made this experience possible for our students. Because of her dedication, our students were able to connect classroom learning to real-world history in ways that foster empathy, awareness, and lasting perspective. #PanthersRISE

In recognition of Women’s Month, their organization is working to ensure that young ladies have access to the resources they need to feel confident, comfortable, and prepared each day.
