Greek Olympics: Individual and Group Events

Today our five Greek teams competed in individual events and team relays.  Below are photos and video of the students' active participation.  It was a great way to conclude our Greece Unit in Social Studies and to transition into the "Myths, Legends, and Tales" Unit in English after winter break.  Thanks, Mr. Vanek for organizing this fun team-wide experience!

Helping Fight Hunger on 7B

7B students brought in 3,434 cans with their food and cash donations.  A huge thank-you goes out to the 7B students and their families for their generous contributions over the last few weeks.  All donations went to the Salvation Army's Food Pantry to benefit those in need right here in our community.
