In Ms. Swallow’s Chorus classes, students signed the song “A Better Place”. Students in Chorus not only learn how to sing, but also learn how to sign. Lilia Bennett (7th) says, “My favorite part about this experience was when we were just signing, not singing.” Signing can be super fun at times and learning to sign can be very useful in the future!

8th Grade Panthers gather in the Growl Grill waiting patiently for their A-Honor Roll Certificate. “I was so excited to collect my certificate,” said Alex Wehbe.

On April 9, 2025 during 1st period, 8th grade Panthers, with straight As in the 3rd Quarter, were called down to the Growl Grill, so they could get their A-Honor Roll Certificate. Alongside the certificate, students also got a Free Chick-Fil-A Dessert and an A-Honor Roll Pin.

Marina Said and Mariah Shanad show off their A-Honor Roll Certificates. “My friend Mariah and I have been getting A-Honor Roll since 6th grade and we’re on the list for the huge award,” said Marina Said. (Colton Fitch)
