October is Bullying Prevention Awareness Month. 💙

This month reminds us of the power we each have to make a difference in how we treat one another. A safe, supportive school starts with small actions—like a kind word or a simple smile.

Let’s commit to building a school community where every student feels safe, seen, and supported every day! 🙌

Attendance Matters! ✨📚

Health-related absences are one of the top reasons students miss class—but there are simple ways families can help prevent them:

✅ Make sure your child gets plenty of sleep
✅ Consume nutritious meals to fuel learning
✅ Encourage regular handwashing and healthy habits at home

By supporting healthy routines, families help students attend school consistently and succeed every day!

📚 On Thursday and Friday, Ms. Ambrose’s English 12 DE classes participated in a college admission simulation!

With guidance from Ms. Rush, students acted as enrollment committees who had to evaluate a list of ten candidates, decide which three to accept, and defend their choices. 🎓

The activity gave them a behind-the-scenes look at the college admissions process from the flip side, and sparked thoughtful discussions about what makes an applicant stand out. 🌟
