It's High 5 Friday! 🙌🖐
This week, high fives go out to:
1. West Senior High School's Visual Arts students, Norah Forton, Emali Duggar, and Alexia DeMercurio, who were recently recognized for their Outstanding Achievement at the Crooked Tree Arts Center Youth Art Exhibit. These talented individuals have shown incredible dedication to their craft, and their hard work is now being celebrated on a regional stage. We are so proud of their creativity and the way they represent their school’s dynamic arts program! 🎨🥳
2. Long Lake Elementary students who enjoyed a vibrant and social day during their Mix It Up Lunch event! This special lunch encouraged students to step out of their usual routines, sit with someone new, and foster new friendships across the school community. To add to the festive spirit, both students and staff participated by wearing mismatched clothes, creating a fun and inclusive atmosphere. 🥪🙌
3. West Middle School 8th grader Bishop Morgan, who was honored with a Titan Ticket for his initiative and helpfulness in the classroom. Bishop was recognized for stepping up to support his peers and teachers, embodying the positive spirit of the WMS community. A big fan of his science class, Bishop credits his teacher, Mrs. Wares, and his great classmates for making it his favorite subject. We are proud to see students like Bishop leading by example and contributing to a supportive learning environment! 👏✨
4. Central High School students who dove deep into scientific research this week, wading into the water to collect samples for local water quality monitoring. This hands-on project allowed students to apply classroom data analysis to real-world environmental health. Despite the challenges of changing conditions on the bay—and a few forgotten boots along the way—the team remained dedicated to their "price of discovery." 🌅💪
5. Eastern Elementary students who were happy to be back in the classroom and eager to dive back into learning. Mrs. Brott’s class spent time reconnecting by sharing stories and highlights of their Spring Break. This meaningful time together helped the students transition back into their school routine while strengthening the supportive community within their classroom. 👍🌟
