Raffle bag artists
The Lanoza girls have been designing different themed bags for the delayed start in-service raffle bag drawing.

If you have had the pleasure of winning one, then you know how much effort has been put into them and how much joy comes from picking out the raffle winners. The staff/teachers seem to enjoy the creative bags and look forward to putting their names into the raffle drawing so hopefully they win not only the bag of goodies but also for the bag itself.
French 4 and AP Classes—Expression Culturelle
Nathalie Kramer's French 4 and AP classes made posters of resistance and protest for human/women's rights, the unhoused, and the environment.
The French 4 class wrote poems accompanied by drawings based on the famous French poem: Soyez Polis by Jacques Prevert—an ode to the planet and reminder of kindness toward mother earth and each other.
And in the AP French class, students made posters as an invitation to a call of awareness for the community; this was inspired by a gathering of women in Guadeloupe who formed a union and fought for their rights to be seen and heard.
