Student Life Update from Mr. Lavioe:
Another amazing week in Student Life. We are happy to report that an all time record of 207 students have signed up for the Halloween Social and Halloween Festivities! A huge thank you goes out to our phenomenal PSA for putting together this wonderful community event.
In other news, next week will be very special as we are commemorating the Hungarian Revolution. On Wednesday, Nov. 4th, we will be hosting an assembly which will focus on the Hungarian Revolution and on the current refugee crisis.
We will also be offering our second hosted activity of the year called Girl Power! Girl Power is an activity offered by Mr. Robert Goris who is a security consultant with the UN. The activity will be offered to 8th grade girls and will focus on teaching them about situational awareness and self-defense. Lastly, the winter activity information will be uploaded to the Middle School Portal and sent to all parents by the end of next week.

7th Grade HUMs project:
Grade Seven Humanities students have been studying Roman technologies (innovations, inventions, and architecture) to understand the needs, the lasting significance, and the influence of ancient Rome. For the last few weeks they have been practicing research skills such as finding credible sources, using proper citations, and paraphrasing information. Today in our Roman Museum, they showed off their knowledge through their models, timelines, and questions.
