@MrSchwartzHJH @msgreads @FirstPlacePromo And this year’s winner…courtesy of the amazing Roasted Garlic Cheese Dip…Mrs. Juhlin!
Congrats to our Boys Bowling team as they finished the regular season as the #KRC Champions. Gael, Dominick, and Logan made the All-Conference Team and Gael finished in 5th place, overall, at the KRC/FVC Tournament. Next stop: IHSA Regionals. #HornetStrikers
Until a faculty tears down the outdated barriers between regular education and special education, and leverages their collective knowledge for the benefit of ALL students, an effective system of interventions will remain painfully out of reach.
Ready for our back to back competition weekend🤍🐝✨
Undefeated regular season and conference champions! GO HORNETS! #JuniorHornetsRising #Soccer
Had so much fun touring @UWMadison with our #AVID scholars today! Thank you @teacherlorithom for organizing an amazing trip for our students!
