Students taught each other how to sign their names using ASL, learned the basics of D&D, discussed what it means to be a mindful thrifter, and the whole high school was treated to a performance by this quarter's Improv group.

In Mr. Wirth’s Improv Community Hour, learning is active, noisy and often hilarious as students sharpen their Improv skills. Daily games and challenges are opportunities to develop leadership skills, practice teamwork, and build confidence.

Mr. Brown returned to the classroom today - as a Community Hour teacher! Students in the Mindful Thrifting class have discussed what it means to be mindful, and their lesson today helped them understand what this means in neighborhoods. Engaged and challenged, students learned the history and nature of gentrification, as well as the difference between gentrification and revitalization. They also learned that their principals are still teachers, and their teachers are still learners!
