We had a great Explorer U focused on being a critical thinker today! Students researched, designed, and then created boats that held one marble and then in some groups, over 20! Our @hudsonohschools students are portraits of excellence! ⚓️

I was incredibly honored to join Tino for teacher appreciation night (and have never felt short until walking next to him 🤣). I’m lucky to be his teacher and excited to watch all that he accomplishes both on and off the court for the rest of his high school career and beyond! ⚓️

@hudsonohschools Tim is the best!! Always willing to help with any tech problem big or small!

Portrait of an Explorer day 2 at @hudsonohschools focused on being an engaged collaborator. These savvy students worked together to create pitches to market randomly selected objects in our classroom to their peers! Lots of creative logos, taglines, and laughs were shared!⚓️

[Mrs. Petraska @MrsPetraska]

Let’s do this, HHS! ⚓️⚓️⚓️

@KenstonTrackCC Congratulations, Coach!!!
So thrilled to see this!!!🎉🎉🎉

[Mrs. Petraska @MrsPetraska]

We had a great day learning about adaptive problem solving for our first Explorer Day! Honors 10 students made boats like the narrator in “The Bass, The River, and Sheila Mant” and English 11 students cleared Bridget Bishop’s name after reading about her in “The Crucible”! ⚓️
