Thursday FARM Day - CANCELLED

I hope you all remembered to bring some print-free, staple-free, tape-free cardboard!

Congratulations to Kaden on his team's 1st place win in volleyball this past weekend!

Don't forget cardboard for the farm this Thursday!

Fri - So what?

First off, your Tributes look AWESOME!!  I hope the content is as equally full of awesomeness.

Congratulations to our Justin for the support and bravery in shaving his head! Lookin' good! #tourderock

I am so appreciative of you all today!  What a great conversation we had about "So what?"  We are learning all this content regarding Industrialization and Ecology, but what do you want to take away from this?  What do you want to change?  What are you passionate about?  What do you want to learn more about?  Sorry our conversation had to end due to it being the end of class. We will continue on Tuesday.  

Highlights:

"Are humans a parasite of Earth?" - Mars

"We don't take what we need, we take what we want" - Sophie

PLEASE remember to bring in some cardboard for our farming on Thursday.
