Good luck HS track kids in your first meet!


🌍✉️ Check out this exciting opportunity for our high school students! In Mrs. Johansen's class, students are handwriting letters to their pen pals across the globe in Norway! What a fun way to improve writing and penmanship skills! Matched by interest, these letters are sparking friendships and curiosity. Students have been eagerly anticipating new letters each day. Looking ahead, Johansen is excited to start this project with next year's students in August so they can make these connections earlier on in the school year. She hopes that this project builds friendships that they will keep even after this class is over.
