Last week, our 8th graders presented their final civics projects to the community. 🇺🇸
Students shared their plans for addressing local issues such as adjusting school start times and advocating for necessary high school improvements. A special thank you to State Senator @patrickoconnor4, State Representative @joanmeschino, and all who supported our students! A big shoutout to the 8th-grade team for guiding our students and organizing this fantastic end-of-year celebration!
