This month has been a flurry of activity! There was a jump in mathematical work, especially with the cubing material which is the beginning of understanding algebraic formulas. The seniors also made over two hundred Valentine's Day chocolate pops for the HRIMS community to raise funds for their senior trip. Many lower and upper elementary students worked together in planning timelines for history and planning outings to various places in our greater community. What a pleasant and happy February!
