All of the figures were chosen by the students of our American Studies class, who have learned about them throughout the year. Some of them are historical figures, while others continue the fight for justice and equality today. One figure will be highlighted each day during morning announcements, and all of them will be featured on the monitors in the cafeteria and main lobby in a slideshow designed by American Studies students. At the end of the month, there will be a homeroom quiz on the persons we feature, and the winning homeroom will win breakfast. Click here to see the slides created by the students.

In this group, students will learn more about the impact of stress on our minds and bodies, as well as many coping skills and techniques to better manage stress as it comes up. This group will run for 7 weeks in March/April on a rotating period schedule, so students will not miss the same class twice. Click here to complete the consent form by February 28th.
