NRAC, NRHS Take Part in Say Something Week
From March 2-6, students in grades 5-12 participated in Say Something Week. Say Something Week is a Sandy Hook Promise initiative that helps save lives by teaching students how to look for warning signs of someone at risk of hurting themselves or others. The initiative provides an opportunity for students to empower themselves to “say something” before a tragedy can occur. Say Something Week is a national call-to-action week to celebrate students being ‘upstanders’ in schools and communities.

Second-graders at the Ranger High-Tech Academy hosted a cultural festival March 5. The project-based learning question for the students was ‘How can we plan and host a cultural festival to teach our community about different cultures around the world?’ Information provided by students about their designated country included cultural artwork and clothing, traditional games, greetings in native languages, and staple foods, which were made by the students for guests to sample.
