💧 Health & Hydration for Every Student 🥤

Ms. Coffey’s Health class received a Donors Choose grant to provide 50 water bottles and stickers for students to decorate. This initiative ensures all students have access to a water bottle and promotes healthy hydration habits in the new year.
 

🚪 Arrested… for Not Closing a Door! 😂

 In French class, students got creative while building their story. We voted on what our lead character should say when he gets “arrested” for not closing a door! This fun exercise sparked laughter, collaboration, and imaginative storytelling, showing that learning a new language can be both educational and entertaining 🇫🇷.
