Mrs. Thoennes' Children's Literature Class became published author's- all thanks to CLEF's generous donation. Students worked hard on story lines and illustrations. Their effort really paid off; this is a treasure they will keep forever!

🌎♻️ Happy Earth Day!🌎

Our 7–12th grade advisory students put their words into action by heading out into our local neighborhoods to help make a difference. Together, they collected nearly 100 pounds of trash—showing what teamwork and community pride can accomplish!

We’re proud of our students for taking initiative and helping keep our community clean and beautiful. Every small effort adds up to a big impact! 💚🌱
