Last week, our district came together to honor Holocaust Remembrance Week through meaningful lessons and discussions. Students engaged in thoughtful activities that not only deepened their understanding of this tragic chapter in history but also encouraged reflection on kindness, empathy, and the importance of standing against hate. It was a powerful week of learning, conversation, and remembrance. 🧡🧡
