Students, you don't want to miss this!
To transition from a poetry unit to their Holocaust unit, students in Mrs. Fitzhugh's 8th grade ELA classes analyzed poetry from "I Never Saw Another Butterfly ... Children's Drawings and Poems from Terezin Concentration Camp." Students then designed a paper butterfly to represent the poem's themes, tone, and overall message. These students did an amazing job with their analysis and were able to showcase their artistic abilities. Thank you, Mrs. Fitzhugh, for providing such a powerful lesson. Great job, Warriors!
On May 20, we will have our final Academic Enrichment Day of the year. Our students have asked to have classes on life skills they will need as adults, and we are looking for experts to serve as teachers for these classes. If you are able to help, please sign up using the link on the flyer, or contact Brandi Couch at 806-219-2211.
