Such hard workers and so early in the morning.
Ted is working hard.
I love the way our classes learn. They all work so well together and challenge each other to do even better. We are learning and also having fun doing it with making our own jeopardy games, playing some of them and also working on projects and basic skills.
Congratulations to Jasmine Chee, Vivi Horup, Mr. Fisher, Jose Chavez, Jim Ji, and Owen Van Marter (not pictured) for receiving the Students and Teacher of the Month awards for “Generosity.” They have each volunteered their time, shown special generosity of spirit, or freely given to others to earn this honor. We thank them for setting such a fine example for our school community!
With the arrival of spring our class has been working on projects that keep us focused on trips. 
The guys love to have their pictures taken while hard at work. And…..may I add they are all such good workers, so dedicated. I could not have asked for a finer group of young men to work with.
This group is so dedicated to their passion and work they are all bound to be a success.
Mr. Zawacki’s Advanced Placement United States History students debated the topic “Should the United States have entered World War I?” Students representing the Affirmative side were Clayton North and Arthur Yeager. The Negative position was represented by Colton Tanner and Will White. Judges for the Debate were fellow students from Mrs. Butterworth’s Journalism 2 class.
Students in Mr. Zawacki’s United States History class are studying the background of the United States Constitution. Anna Letto and Angela Aung explain the benefits of the Land Ordinances of 1785 and 1787 and Shays Rebellion. These were preludes to the establishment of the Continental Congress of May 1787.
Accountability leads to success for the Heritage students and teacher recognized at today’s assemblies. The Heritage community was thrilled to recognize James Brighton (AM Underclassman), Harry Brown (PM Underclassman), Brook Schafer (Middle School), Yuki Nakayama (PM Senior), Nick Russell (AM Senior), and Mrs. Kathy Seyalioglu (Teacher) as Heritage’s February Students and Teacher of the Month. Congratulations to all!
