Social Studies

Our goal in history and social science that students are informed actors in their community. During this time, students should stay informed on what is happening and consider ways in which they can help their community. A simple, yet powerful thing that students could do right now is to simply document their experience for the historical record to share with future generations who will be learning about this.
