Congratulations to Joppa High School's WYSE team. They placed first in the Regional Competition. Great job...
Junior High students were able to listen to a small group of high school students today about the importance of study habits, the importance of creating good habits now, prioritizing, attendance, etc.
We had the privilege of listening to Madison L., Emma H., Troy L., Carly P., Emily R., and Rachelle C., Each of these students were able to speak about their personal experiences and offered their email addresses to the Jr high students. The high school students were chosen by their high school teachers.
Thanks to each of you for taking time out of your day to speak with us!
Thank you high school teachers for allowing these students out of class for a short time to talk to the junior high.
