Students from Mrs. Adams' Honors English 10A classes were assigned to perform a play, "Chapter 7," based on the book Of Mice and Men. Students had only four days to collaborate, write a script, practice, get costumes, make props, perform the final chapter, and create an iconic scene to make the book even more complete.
Working asynchronously, in class, and in small groups, the students did a superb job in the third and fifth blocks of putting two entirely unique plays together to demonstrate their understanding of the themes and lessons learned from the characters in the book.

Leadership is a vital skill that shapes who we are and how we impact others. Recently, Ms. O'Leary's class at FDSH had the privilege of hearing from two inspiring leaders who shared their perspectives
Mr. Elsbecker, FDSH Assistant Principal, spoke about the importance of being trustworthy, reliable, and welcoming - and that those are three characteristics that exceptional people have. He encouraged the students to think about how they are those things, and more, in their own lives, as well as how they can always improve themselves throughout life.
Kevin Twait, ICCC Athletic Director, also visited Ms. O'Leary's class and said leaders are consistent and lead by example. He also said that having a positive mindset is important, and that negativity can spread very quickly. Leaders keep a positive outlook and encourage others around them.
