7th Grade Service Project
Seventh-grade students planted daffodils around the outside of the school as a service in-learning project connected to the unit "A Voice in Crisis."
The daffodil is symbolic of the Star of David and is part of the Daffodil Project in remembrance of the 1.5 million children who perished in the Holocaust.
Thank you to Mrs. Good and our 7th grade students!
