Law Day is a national wide event held on May 1st. It is a recognized day of observance by the US government. Yesterday, civics classes participated in their annual Law Day activity, where local lawyers talk with students about the law, their jobs, how to become a lawyer, and the year's theme. This year, they spoke about the Separation of Powers and allowed students a question and answer time.
The 2018 speakers included Alex Winn, Judge Singleton, Elise Holman, John Thomas and Molly Shepherd, Laura Cox, and Greg Thomas. Thank you to those who gave their time to educate our students!
Congrats to seniors Jessica Pitts and Cameron Poole for signing to cheer in college yesterday! Jessica will be attending SAU, and Cameron will attend LA Tech. Can't wait to see you on the sidelines! Way to go, girls!

Mrs. Green's FACS classes cooked homemade chicken and broccoli stir fry last week, and if the wonderful smell coming down the hallway was any indication of the taste, the kids did a great job!
Ms. R. Smith's Pre-AP Alg classes used MnMs to study exponential graphs last Friday. Any class that lets you use chocolate to do an activity...yes, please!
