Second grade had a sweet day! After reading The Humble Pie by Jory John, we explored what it means to be humble, identified problems and solutions, and wrapped it all up with an apple vs. pumpkin pie taste test. Students shared their opinions in writing — with lots of delicious inspiration!

Motivation Monday!
“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.”

You don’t need to be the most gifted-you just need to be the most determined. Bears, outwork your obstacles. Show up. Hustle. That effort will set you apart more than talent alone ever could. Have a great week!

Throwback Thursday!

Today’s throwback takes us back to 1952, featuring the Orange Peel staff from the yearbook!

Their mission? To give readers accurate monthly coverage of school news and events. From sports and music to class activities and interviews with students and teachers. A true look at student journalism in action!

Back then, they were the Panthers for the Dola School, but today our Journalism class carries on the tradition of telling the Polar Bear story.

After reading To Kill a Mockingbird, Mrs. Breece’s English 9 students were tasked with creating their own board game based on the book. Students were required to create their own instruction manual, game board, character pieces, and playing cards. Each group then had the chance to play another group’s board game!
