Middle School Achieve is spreading holiday cheer in the sweetest ways! Our students “CANE’d” faculty and staff by surprising them with a candy cane and a kind note to brighten their day. They also created heartfelt holiday cards for local nursing home residents, sharing joy and connection beyond our school walls. We’re so proud of our students for leading with kindness, creativity, and compassion this season! ❤️🎅

Mr. Dean’s 7th Grade Guidance class took part in a live zoom with the Dallas Cowboys and Medal of Honor Griffin Institute. They had a live discussion via Zoom with Arizona Cardinals LB JJ Russell, New York Giants TE Chris Manhertz, Dallas Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson, Dallas Cowboys Cheer Leader Brooklyn Davis and Vietnam Vet and Medal of Honor Recipient Jim McCloughan.
This event was held through the Everfi program, and is sponsored by the NFL. It teaches students how to establish and maintain healthy, supportive relationships with their classmates. Students engage in true-to-life scenarios that explore the fundamentals of communication, conflict resolution, and managing emotions. EVERFI partnered with the National Medal of Honor Griffin Institute to enhance the course by adding three videos focused on the values of courage, commitment, and integrity to help guide students in their decision-making and choices.
