May we not just grieve, but give: May we not just ache, but act; May our signed right to bear arms Never blind our sight from shared harm; May we choose our children over chaos. May another innocent never be lost.

We have been working on productive struggle in Room 307! We are learning it is ok to struggle with a problem as long as we have strategies to help us along. This came in handy while a student was taking his math test. 🤍

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the victims and survivors of one of the darkest periods in our history. But it’s not enough to remember — we also need to have the courage to speak out against acts of bigotry and hatred whenever we see them.
