👏 Last week (Sept. 22–26), our American Sign Language classes celebrated Deaf Awareness Month!
✨ ASL students shared short facts about American Sign Language, Deaf culture, and the Deaf community during morning announcements.
🤟 Students in all four ASL levels also signed the Pledge of Allegiance together, showcasing their learning and respect for this beautiful language.
We are proud to celebrate and honor the traditions, language, and folklore of the Deaf community — an important part of the rich tapestry of American culture. 💙

This experience is designed to help break down barriers and connect students with an important community resource. For some of our students—especially those living in rural areas—it can be surprising to learn how close the library is to school.
The goal is for every student to have the opportunity to get a library card and explore after-school programming tailored for their age group. Middle school is a time of growing independence, and this is one more way for students to practice making positive choices on their own.
We are grateful to continue this tradition and can’t wait to see how our students take advantage of all the library has to offer! 🐾

They have been learning how to think critically about the media they consume—recognizing bias, identifying credible sources, and understanding the monetary incentive media companies have to keep audiences engaged. Students also examined how social media algorithms often prioritize content that sparks strong emotions, which can result in sensationalized stories, spin, and even increased polarization.
The classes also discussed the impact of today’s media environment on our democracy and how it shapes public opinion and civic engagement.
👩🎓👨🎓 These conversations are helping students grow into thoughtful, informed citizens who can navigate the complex media landscape with confidence.
Kick off the celebration at the Annual Ada Powder Puff Football Game this Sunday, September 28th at 6:00pm at the Ada War Memorial Park Stadium!
👉 Admission: $5 for all ages (Sports passes not accepted – this is a Junior Class fundraiser for Prom)
👉 A huge bake sale will also be available – come hungry! 🍪🧁
Don’t miss out on the fun, laughter, and tradition as we kick off Homecoming week together. 💜💛 COME JOIN THE FUN!
