6th grade students had the honor of meeting Mr. Jim Servi, father of three boys (including one of our own- Joseph Servi!) and author of the book “Forever Changed,” a historical fiction novel about the lives of those in Afghanistan after September 11th. Students were able to listen to a chapter of the book and interview the author! Thank you to Mr. Jim Servi for your military service and for coming out to keep our 6th grade students engaged in literacy!

The United States History II class when they studied World War I created Dazzle Ships. They were also known as Razzle Dazzle ships because of the camouflage patterns that were created. You will see examples created by the juniors as well as the names they "gifted" the ships with their service in our navy.
