Happy School Nurse Day to our own frontline workers! CDE classes made this bandage bulletin board to show their appreciation for our school nurses, who have been working extra hard this year conducting contact tracing and administering COVID tests for student-athletes. To all the school nurses out there (but especially ours), we appreciate you!
This week, middle school Spanish students had fun learning about colors and clothing vocabulary. When Mrs. Misasi asked if anyone wanted to wear “el sombrero,” students got excited and lots of hands went up! Jacob, Brody and Dominique correctly answered questions about colors and clothes so they got to wear the sombreros for the rest of class.
