For my seniors' final assignment, they created 6-word memoirs (with a twist). Their six words were a lesson or words of wisdom to pass on to the underclassmen. Proud of what they've learned these last 4 years and excited to see where the future takes you❤💙
Glad to be a part of this community ❤️ Wish I could have been there today, but so proud to see so many of my students and colleagues standing up for justice! And great job to my former student on a well-written article!!
As the principal of Foran, let me be clear. Black lives matter, people of color matter. Our black students matter, our students of color matter. Racism and bigotry must be condemned. We all need to be part of the solution. No one has all the answers but we all need to look
Three years ago, @pennykittle and I created book clubs for our HS students around the theme of social justice. Here were the titles we selected at that time. Any suggestions for updating the list?
Congrats to Madison Santa-Barbara who won an award from the Trumbull Literary Competition ❤️💙🦁 #lionpride she will be published in PenWorks! #creativewriting
Proud and happy to report that Foran freshmen, sophomore, junior, senior classes and Natural Helpers donated $1000 to CT Food Bank! Mr. Raucci and Mrs. Farrell dropped off the check today! So grateful that WE could help! @CTFoodBank @ManeStMirror#heartofalion
@SparkNotes inspired me to create a meme project for my juniors! Students created memes for Antigone and their submissions had me cracking up this AM! Here are some of my favorites
My favorite activity every year is my 9th graders' Night Visual Theme project. With modifications, I assigned it via distance learning and WOW! my students blew me away with their creativity.
Students could make ANY visual representation of a theme from the holocaust memoir, Night. From board games to burned cakes to canvas paintings to blackout poetry, every project was unique.
Congratulations to the Valedictorian and Salutatorian of the class of 2020, Andre Jin and Brianna Aguilar! Both extremely hardworking, dedicated to learning, caring role models! Way to go! You earned this honor! #lionpride@ManeStMirror#hardworkpaysoff
Happy birthday, @mrs_newall ! Wishing we could be celebrating in yellow hall, so here’s a throwback from when we finished our first year of teaching in 2016! Have a great day 💜
