Mr. Harrah's Religions and Philosophy students completed a unit on Islam where two students taught the class about their favorite holiday and played a Kahoot! game for the whole class. Mr. Harrah also arranged for middle eastern cuisine of falafel and chicken shawarma. The class enjoyed it!

Mr. Griggs met with students who were nominated by a staff member to become a future Griffin Guide - a new peer mentoring program comprised of juniors and seniors working with freshmen that will start next year.
